[QUOTE="richg99, post: 438216, member: 4376"] I just went through that choice...of flat or mod-V. As Johnny said, the all flat ones ride the hardest, but probably go the shallowest. I found out that there are some mod-Vs that have a greater angle and that angle runs the length of the boat..... some that are mod-V in the front and then run flat all of the way back, and some, such as the 1756 Lowe (2007) that I bought that has a mod V-front, and a very, very mild mod-V extending to the stern. (picture below). I actually contacted my trusted mechanic of over 20 years to get his opinion on whether or not the particular Mod-V that I liked would still go very shallow. His opinion was that the modest V that extended to the stern of the 1756 Lowe wouldn't hurt my expected usage. Johnny is right. No one should venture a serious suggestion until you share more about your potential use of the boat. Mine was simple, I don't expect to be crossing any big bays...and I hope to run shallow, and run often. richg99 [/QUOTE]
