[QUOTE="juniata, post: 410155, member: 20661"] Have the chance to buy a Meyers 14 laker for a good price..I think the beam on them is 56" not sure about the bottom width. I have a couple of questions for those of you that have had both small flat bottom jon boats and semi v's similar to the laker. 1. Is there really much difference in stability between say a 1436 jon and a small semi v like the Meyers? 2. Is the ride in a chop or river current really that much different? 3. And will the small semi v really noticeably require more motor considering the weights are very similar. I'm well aware of the stability of wider boats vs smaller. But this is a question for the small boat guys...thanks [/QUOTE]
