[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 235002, member: 3438"] If staying with a 14'er, the flat or mod-v jon boat will be the most stabil for casting decks. Get a minimum of 48" bottom, ie 1448 models. A 48" wide V is probably a semi-v, hull basicly flat at transom. The front casting deck will not have good side to side stability. Deck will need to be lower than height of bench seat. Unless you plan to sit and stand near the centerline, don't bother with this type of boat. I own a 14' 48" bottom width semi V, a 14' V 52" bottom width (mod v at transom) and a 1648 mod v jon. I'd never put a deck on the semi. I have one on the 14' V, but not as stable as 1648 for side to side. [/QUOTE]
