[QUOTE="MeanMouth, post: 124969, member: 2460"] I think the choice of hull really depends on your fishing preferences. I have no personal issue with a flat bottom on a rough lake, but other people might have their reasons why they prefer a v-hull. Stability should be your main concern when doing a conversion. If you prefer the v-hull for looks or ease of rough waters, then just make sure to build accordingly. Since you have a couple flat bottoms already, I would seriously be tempted to try your first project out on one of them, and use that boat as a deciding factor. If you aren't satisfied, put it in the paper and use that money for a v-hull, but if you end up liking it, you've got a nice, customized rig that will hopefully make you proud. [/QUOTE]
