I have a Hobie Pro Angler.
I do not stand in the Kayak, however, I am a large mammal. I have not used the yak much and the few times I did use it I was a tad weary of the stability.
Mounting the stabilizer brackets aft of the seat should reduce interference when fighting a fish. I fight fish pretty aggressively, therefore the bow should be pointed toward the fish. Reducing interference. I hate trolling, even in a yak. So unless I am moving between spots I will be throwing plugs or eels.
A few hundred bucks is worth the confidence I will gain with added stability. This winter I have spent well over $2000 on other gear/plugs I really don't "need". I am an addict!
Thank you for the feedback.
