[QUOTE="LonLB, post: 234879, member: 4391"] Have you owned a boat before, or been in many. Personally, I like to be able to really move around without any stability issues. That is why I like bigger boats. Wider is better too. At 78" wide, I would really like to upgrade my boat some day. Something around 96" wide would be nice. =P~ In my limited experience with flat bottom boats, they seem more stabil than semi-v boats given equal size. The ride is much better in Semi V, or V bottom boats. I have a V/semi V. The V in the back isn't as pronounced as some of the newer boats, but it isn't a rounded bottom like some smaller semi V's. But, what I lose in stability with bottom design, I more than make up for in overall size and weight of the boat. The heavier the boat, the more stabil also. I was in a 16' Lund Rebel semi V that with nobody in it would rock like crazy in rough water....Still not that good with one person, but with one in front and back, it wasn't to bad at all. [/QUOTE]
