[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 470274, member: 12995"] I think the mod v setup works the best for usually nice conditions. Everybody gets caught in rough conditions from time to time so the partial v will help in those situations but being pretty flat at the back helps with stability. But most of the shorter mod v boats aren't all that wide so some stability can be lost with a shorter boat. 1448 might be the widest short mod v. I know Edge boats makes a 1553 or 1556 which would be the best compromise, but they are hard to find and a bit pricey. I think a true flat bottom jon boat will be a handful in rough conditions.
