[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 209555, member: 1523"] True flat bottoms slap into the waves a bit more than modified V's and true V's cut the wave better than either. The V's also tend to manuever better at low speeds. You will notice, most snub nose true flat bottoms don't have any chine at the transom and handle worse at high speed vs. a mod V or deep V. I think my mod V was about a 1.5" chine across the bottom, true V's are closer to 2-3" at the back. Jamie [/QUOTE]
