Are the LE 21's stable fishing platforms? I sometimes will have 3 people fishing from my boat depending on which family members want to go. Will the LE 21 dump us in the water if we all move to one side of the boat?  Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am about to drive 331 miles tomorrow to take a test drive in a used Legend, and if it is not stable it will have been a wasted drive.  Thanks for your help.

I fish 3 frequently. I even have had 5 in the boat when my family goes bream fishing with me. Very steady. They sit low and wide in the back making for a flat fishing deck. This isn't an aluminum boat that can tip you out when you lean over to change baits. I have no problem with claiming near Ranger-like stability when loaded on one side working a bank.

I fish with a 250 pound partner sometimes and it's absolutely not an issue. It's been a while since fishing in a LE model but I don't remember any change in the stability of the boat from model to model. In fact the hull has been very similar through the years.

It won't rock. If one person moves to the other side, you more than likely won't notice.

I own a LE-21 and I'm very pleased with the stability. I thought the Legend 199 Alpha's were very stable, the 21 foot boats are even more so.
I drove over 2500 miles round trip to buy my LE-21 sight unseen. That's how confident I am with these boats. You will enjoy your demo ride.
