[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 397532, member: 12925"] It's mostly a personal preference and the way I use it. I prefer a flat bottom square front for our fish gigging season here. I can have 2-3 people on the front deck at a time behind the rail. While idling around chasing fish in the riffles or shallows I can trim up higher than the boat bottom and still propel it forward even when bumping bottom without having to get out and push. I spend very little time on lakes, and when I am on them, it is usually just to get to the river or at night after the pleasure boats have left. With the big boat when I have 4-5 people, the iron pipe gigging rail, generator, and 80 to 100 fish I still need to be able to plane off in 1-2 boat lengths and run 4-5" water effortlessly and that is where the big motor comes in handy. Those inboards are nice, but wouldn't work for me. [/QUOTE]
