[QUOTE="cstallings, post: 269462, member: 8791"] Ok...so I really like the alumacraft 1648s that I found on I-boats. Price isn't that bad either. https://boats.iboats.com/alumacraft-jon-boats/b821c200021pa2/ Assuming they make boats for short shaft motors, which I'm pretty certain they do as the specs show it online. Price isn't that bad either. I like how the modified V bottoms look, but what is the real difference bewteen flat bottom and MV bottom. I assume MVs will cut through the water better, especially choppy water. I swore I would never buy another flat nose boat when I duck hunted becuase I could never glance of trees. I would hit them and completely stop, but I hardly ever duck hunt anymore. I go on almost all types of waters. Big Rivers (arkansas river), lakes of all sizes, small sloughs, and small shallow rivers. Where I trout fish (white river and little red) is can get shallow in places. I also drift fish a lot for trout. Which type boat would work better for me? Would a flat bottom run shallower and drift better? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
