[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 454971, member: 13975"] I personally like the extra front deck space my Alumacraft 1648 flatbottom offers over the 1648MV model. TM is all the way to the left and when deployed sits in the water at the forward left corner but it trolls just like any other mod-v ive been in that had the TM mounted at an angle to deploy at the centerline of the boat. It also has a truly flat bottom just aft of the front deck which will allow for easier installation of a floor. The caveat to my situation is that I only have a 15hp motor on it as I use it on hp restricted lakes. At 20 mph I don't think it really matters if it was a mod-v or a flatbottom. If you are moving 30mph+ often the mod-v would probably make a lot more sense. [/QUOTE]
