[QUOTE="Good Ol Sarge, post: 198934, member: 5761"] The boat with the seats is a v hull. Most all boats are flat or close to flat in the rear. They are pretty stable but not as stable as a flat bottom with a wide beam. The v hull handles much better with waves. The flat bottom will be stable but throw u around more. You'll hit every wave as to going through them like with the v hull. The mod v or semi v hulls are just about a combination of flat and v hulls. Instead of a fully flat front it has a slight v. This helps with the waves and handling. Mine is a mod v. And it's perfect for these mid size lakes I go on. Most smaller lakes don't get huge waves so you'd be ok with a flat. I just really like the stability of my 1448. And I would not give the guy a penny more than he had it listed for. I would try and talk him down to a decent price unless I thought the boat was worth his asking price. The motor I bought was listed at one price when I contacted him. I told him I would come 3 days later and I wanted it. He told me he'd save it for me but was going to keep it posted on craigslist incase I backed out. He then listed for 300 more but told me he'd give it to me for the first price. [/QUOTE]
