[QUOTE="sixgun86, post: 282690, member: 5345"] Lower the floor, the greater stability. If you want to try it before you buy it, get a loose leaf of some ply board and place it over those tires? or blocks? at different heights to get the feel while you are out in the water, just try not to fall in the drink. Deep V is a term loosely used around here but mainly refers to a high sided semi-v hull when in reality a Deep v-hull extends all the way to the stern. Guilty myself. To determine if you a high sided boat, or "deep v" your transom wall should be a couple inches lower than your bow. Or if you have a 20" transom, your bow should be equal or greater than a cold beer. Next time you go out see if you can adjust your tilt pin so the GF doesn't have to sit on the floor. Or consider adding bit of weight to the bow with a battery, or trolling motor mount/deck, etc. When in doubt, use a rock. They're free and easy to return. [/QUOTE]
