I just watched the whole thing. He's a bit negative about it, but as the comments said, you soon get used to the fact that you are not going to tip if you reach down to lip a fish. I raised my Pro Angler seat 3" higher than factory to get better leg angle on the pedals, and I have no problem reaching down to below the water surface. I have never tipped mine.
It also appears that he got a very early Compass, with the old style pedal drive. Soon after that, the reversing drives became standard. (You can buy the drives separately to retrofit an older boat, too.)
