[QUOTE="BrazosDon, post: 311840, member: 7752"] Welcome Wood_Duck to the forum. I have both boats. One is my first boat witch is a 14' Lone Star V bottom and the other is a 14' Alumacraft 14X48 MV jon boat. Both boat are well made and I have enjoyed them both over the years. I do have a preference though and that is the Alumacraft jon boat. I like to duck hunt and trot-line for cat fish. It is more stable than the V bottom and safer(IMO) than the V bottom. Both boats have 18hp OMC motors(Johnson/Evinrude) on them. The V bottom will take rougher water but if it gets that rough I need to be off the lake or river anyway. Just make sure that when you buy, you choose a good quality boat. And as far as the side console, again in my opinion, is a waist of space and money. As far as motors are concerned, 9.9hp to 25hp would be sufficient I have had 9.9hp thru 18hp on mine and was very well pleased with all of them. [/QUOTE]
