[QUOTE="turne032, post: 132765, member: 1355"] ok, just so you know, i profess to be not an expert in boats. All expressed comments are of opinions only........ I too, have read that a 4-6 degree is best for outboard jets. I have some pro and con opinions of why I think I would prefer a flat bottom boat. I can understand that if you have a little deadrise, it acts as a bass boat or jet ski that gets up on the center pad to increase performance. This allows water to only touch the center of the boat, and reduces the drag effects of the water. but....we have built a flat bottom boat with a pad like race and bass boats and it gets the boat so far out of the water that we couldnt control it. also...when floating through shallow water, with a slight v, it sticks down into the water an extra inch or two, causing you not to float those shallow waters I have had a 18 ft weldbuilt semi-v with a slight v, could not tell any difference in performance.
