What are your thoughts?

Appreciate any help you can offer!
We have FWM, It's a quality product but it does get a little swirly when there is a lot of wave action. I don't think it would be good if you're in a high boat traffic area, JMO. Ours is 4' wide, I agree with others that 6' wide would be much more stable.
