[QUOTE="moloch16, post: 223966, member: 126"] My modified V is less sturdy than my old flat bottom. The V in the front allows more rocking side-to-side in the front than a flat bottom since there is less boat making contact with the water. If I was looking to buy again, I'd probably go flat bottom for just this reason. I tend to balk at windy, choppy conditions where a MV will shine - mainly due to the fact that a jon boat is more like a sail boat when the air is moving and controlling the boat is more work than fun. Having said that, the MV does shine when I'm flying across the lake at max speed. I have a 1440MV with a 25hp 2-stroke so I can really get up and go when I want to. [/QUOTE]
