Yep. About 25 yards behind us there's a channel, about neck deep with good mud where we were clamming, and I climbed in the boat to make a phone call. I grabbed the side of the cockpit, and swung a leg up over the cowling like I was getting on a horse. Worked pretty easily. Could I do it in waders? Very doubtful. But the thing really can't be flipped from anywhere but the back, so worst case I hold on to the boat and float. There are three handles on it, one in front, two in the back, and the entire side of the cockpit makes a pretty good handle, so I don't think I'd have a hard time holding on.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's unsinkable, just that it's WAAAAY harder to get it to ship water than a jon boat. I'd love to make one about 12' long and 5' wide, with everything scaled the same as on this 7 footer. I think that would be the ticket.

We were out clamming, using the boat to carry the cooler and stuff, and I finally had the chance. Pardon the shaky video, but the 13 year old was under the threat of harsh punishment if she dropped my phone in the water.
I found that only by standing on the transom could I sink it. Everywhere else, it will hold my weight, no matter how far I lean. If it wasn't for my astounding lack of balance, I could have walked all around it most likely, but it slips out from under you long before you could sink the thing. When I hopped up on the rear deck/transom, there is little doubt that I would have sunk it pretty darn quick. Way more stable than a canoe or kayak, by a factor of about a million. At the end, my feet were all the way on the nose of the boat. (we got about a 1/2 bushel of clams using only toes in about 3 hours in case you were wondering. Not the greatest numbers, but a pretty enjoyable day)
