Jon boats are definitely less tipsy than canoes.......

The stability depends in large part on the size of the jon boat. In
general, the larger the more stable. The most popular sizes are 12
and 14 feet. The bottom width is perhaps the most important
dimension--again, the wider the the more stable. I sometimes use a 14
footer with 36" bottom and 54" beam (width across the sides). It is
plenty stable for seated fishing, but you risk taking a dunk if you
stand.
