[QUOTE="TexasLoneStar56, post: 364100, member: 14624"] Thanks for sharing your pics. Yes, it is a V-bottom. Stability in one of these depends on the floatation used in it. They can lean pretty good if they lack floatation. Check under the storage and seats to see if there is any flotation. Does it have a sub-floor? It may have flotation under that as well. The higher the sides the more stable the boat. Flat bottoms can lean pretty good, too, especially if they are loaded with gear (and gas) to one side or the other. They do sit low to the water, but they sure are fun. While we own both, I prefer the v-bottom in the lake, and the flat bottom in the river. Just my opinion. I do agree about the motor. Look for a Johnson/Evinrude or Mercury. You can still buy parts for those old motors. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
