[QUOTE="surfman, post: 454944, member: 7404"] If I was going to choose between those two boats, I would choose the one with the pointed bow. I have a flat bow on my current boat. I agree to some degree with heading into the wind but, when on plane the bow is up anyway, at least it is on my boat and, the hull is taking most of the impact from the waves. You really can't force a flat bow down into the waves unless you really want to get wet. The pointy bow also would help reduce the bow slap when fishing I am thinking but, I really don't know about that. As far as trolling motor placement , mine is off to the side and does not affect steering the boat at all. I don't think that matters at all. You gain a little room with the flat front but if it is just one person up front then it doesn't look bad to me. I like the open layout of both of those boats. [/QUOTE]
