[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 117694, member: 432"] A semi-v or v hull seems to bob up and down without tilting from side to side as bad as a flat bottom will in rougher water with wave coming from the side. If you are heading into the wave, a v or semi-v seems to cut into the wave better and does not porpoise as bad as a flat bottom. In calm water a flat bottom boat does not have as much draft as a v or semi-v hull allowing it to traverse shallower water. [/QUOTE]
