There is about 4 inches of freeboard. I did a couple of fairly quick roll offs to see if I could get the wake to swamp over the back, but had nothing more than a few splashes.

I did a couple of weight distribution tests and put a small person up front. It seemed to sit slightly better, so I will have a couple of bags of sand with me next week to be able to do some more testing.

I am tempted to keep my eye out for a longer leg and add a plate like Nasher has to really make sure as I am sure I could get it to dig under if I tried and if I do add a bench in the back that would create a more rear bias too.
