Flat or V?

Pick a style boat.

Mine is a semi-V, I like it pretty good.

I Have A Flat Bottom Boat And I Love It, Don't Have To Worry About Twisting Your Ankles.

I'm too fat and clumbsy for a V-hull .....I like a flat bottom because you can go into shallower water too....Good flounder gigging boats.

V-bottom-no other

Well, I got one of each, both have their place. Love them both. If I had to choose between one or the other, I'd probably keep the flat bottom, it works better for most of my fishing.

Flat bottom,for me v hull are dump trucks,dump ya right out if you arent careful.

My present one is flat and that is just fine for what I use it for.

In Michigan in the 70's I had a semi-V and was just what I needed to journey out in Lake Michigan for salmon fishing. It was only a 14 footer but it worked and I caught lots of salmon. When that fishery started in the 60's people learned the hard way. It was called Coho fever and many many boats got swamped with big waves and big waves breaking. It was learned real fast that a semi-V would ride right over the top of the big waves and swells instead of getting swamped or have a 10-12 ft wave break and fill your boat. I know, as I was there and done it. So a V or semi-V is just great if that is what you need.

My 17 ft tracker flat bottom is perfect for my fishing small lakes here in Florida.
