[QUOTE="Skidz, post: 223956, member: 3920"] Pretty much any 1648 will be much much more stable than a 1432. You're talking about an extra 16 inches of bottom width. I went from a 1542 to a 1648 and I can tell a big difference. The MV hull will be smoother when going through small chop and waves etc, than the flatbottom. However, you will give a up just a bit of stability for this. It's not much, but there is some difference. Again, I went bigger, and also from a flatbottom to the MV, the extra width more than made up for the slight difference the MV vs. flatbottom made. Plus, I'm not getting pounded by every wave, it slices through the waves instead of bouncing on top of them. One thing though, if you only plan to go at electric only speeds, or otherwise very slow, the chop won't be so noticeable. HTH, Skidz [/QUOTE]
