I bet that thing is fast like a dat in the water. Mine is stable enough to stand on but as stable as the trihull design is I give up a lot of speed

He is right, the green one is my first high seat and it really helps to transition to a standing position as well as just seeing fish or structures better.
Keep in mind the higher the seat the longer paddle you will want.

You'd have to intentionally try to flip it to get it to roll over. Do you float the deer out? I see the bow and stand no place for the deer though. I thought mine was stable and hard to flip to, untill I flipped it on a lake with a 3/8" layer of ice on it beaver trapping. It was a bit of a cold morning. The older I get the more I like the comfort of the raised soft seat and ease of getting in and out of the sit on tops like the one above.

For a fishing rig, sit on top for me, more accessible storage and modifications for your needs. And it easy as sitting down. If you plan on using a kayak for smaller streams with many portages where you have to get out and walk it in the shallows, you may regret a sit-in kayak. With the sit-in climbing in and out gets old, a sit-on is simply drop your legs and stand up.

Good observation. I've used the kayak for ease of padding and stealth but have had to pull deer out with a canoe. I could probably strap a small deer on the rear bulkhead and get it out but never tried. The beam is wider than it looks in the pics. It is very stable. I figured deer will float so maybe you just drug them along behind you. Would keep it cool when it's hot early bow season. I like accessing public ground from the water. To many u tube guys making it a popular method these days though.
