[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 28018, member: 437"] A flat bottom will be more stable and draft less water but will rattle your fillings loose when the waves kick up. The V hull cuts the waves and rides much better in rough water. I really depends on the types of water that you will be fishing. Around my area, the flat bottoms and mod V's are the overwhelming majority of what you see by a landslide. Visitors from the north are about the only ones that you see in full on deep V hull boats. The dealership where I bought my rig has a brand new 2006 Triton V hull that they are willing to take a beating on to get out of their inventory. The area rep talked them into ordering it by telling them it would sell like hotcakes. 2 years later, they can't give the thing away. [/QUOTE]
