[QUOTE="eshaw, post: 454814, member: 22134"] All I've ever owned were flat bottoms. That being said I think the boats with the coast guard style fronts are definitely more popular with boaters, they just ride better. I ride the edges of bigger lakes and the flat bottom suits me fine but mine is dedicated to bow fishing for the most part. The ride in my boat is comparable to skipping a flat rock across the surface of water, that's the best way I can explain it. It will do 28 with a 40 horse on the back and that's plenty fast for me. As far as the trolling motor goes I don't think it's that big of a deal between the two types. Mine handles fine from the side. I use a Xi5 on mine with the Lowrance Elite 7 to control it in addition to using the remote. You'll love being able to control it from anywhere in the boat. [/QUOTE]
