[QUOTE="Mike P, post: 202427, member: 3564"] Never seen the Erie Canal but here is what I can tell ya. A flat bottom will have more displacement giving more carrying capacity than a v hull. The v hull will take waves and wakes better than the flat. Get as much motor as possible as I don't think anyone ever said they had too much motor as long as they were within the capacity plate. Easier to slow down than be stuck not moving due to current and wind working against ya. Sounds like a fun trip though. Good luck to ya and safe travels. [/QUOTE]
