In case of capsize is necesary aditional help or two persons can will right

Hector,

I would say that the DSII is not a dangerous boat. I took my family including 2 small children out in it frequently and never had any worries.

The times that I took it out in high winds (15+ mi. and gusty) with a 2-person crew I found the boat stabil and forgiving. With both of our butts over the rail it rounded up instead of going over.

To Answer your question about the outboard: I paid more for mine than I did the boat. It will be securly clamped to the transom and tied to an eye on the transom as well.

I do not know if two people can right the boat in case of a capsize as I have not yet had to try.

Your english is far better than my Portugese.
