Mornin everybody
I was going thru and reading some old post the other day and read several times where people would say that flat bottom boats were not very good in rougher water and that a semi-v was the way to go, but that a flat bottom boat was a little more stable.
I have never been in a flat bottom before so when people say this are they saying that they bounce alot more in rougher water. I can see where they probably would ride rougher because they would not cut the waves the way a semi-v would. But is there really that much of a difference?
Also I would like to have a livewell in the boat and it seems that all the welded semi-v boats that I have looked at doesn't have one but the flat bottoms do so what's up with that? that is a lot of the reason that I am looking at a flat bottom. The 2 boats that I am looking at are both G3 boats (dealer about 15 miles from my house) one is a 1548 semi-v and the other is a 1648 flat bottom with a livewell.
Sorry so long winded. Jon
