[QUOTE="G Lap, post: 209522, member: 6268"] I have owned a flat bottom jon boat that had a slight V shape. It was more pronounced in the front 3rd of the boat, then flattened out more towards the transom. In the rear part of the boat it only has a slight amount of angle. I was always happy with how it rode and fished, but I am curious how a jon boat with a completely flat bottom compares. Once my boat was planed out, only about the back 3rd of the boat was in contact with the water and the hull was pretty flat in that area. I would imagine the slight V in the front may help to move water to the sides when you are on plane and hit a wave. I am wondering if a completely flat hull from the front to the back of the boat has any advantages over the mod-v bow. I would think that the flat hull might be a little bit more stable while sitting still, but not sure. If any of you have owned both types, maybe you can give some input. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
