[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 13254, member: 55"] Really big water, go with a semi vee. Full vee at the bow, but tapers down flatter at the stern. If the deadrise at the transom is less than 20 degrees, it is a semi vee. I don't think there are many 14 foot deep vees, and a 15 foot deep vee is a lot of boat. Then, you will be getting into restoration, not conversion, and it ain't cheap. For the record, I have been in 3 foot breakers in my 12 foot semi vee, and have never had a problem. Depending on the load distribution, a little might come over the bow, but my homebrew trolling motor mount acted as a nice spray rail. [/QUOTE]
