[QUOTE="gogittum, post: 483706, member: 27114"] 35 years ago I traded for an older (at the time) 16 ft Ouachita tin boat. Freeboard was as low as I've seen - made me nervous in choppy water - bottom was flat and chines were rounded. Pointed nose, V entry. It even had a small livewell built into the center seat. I came to dislike it very quickly - in a steep turn with the rounded chines, the water would climb the side almost to the gunnel. I got rid of it. This might give you a direction to look in.....??
