[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 446649, member: 22613"] A boat that cuts through the grass is also going to draft deeper. It's a double edged sword. A semi-V just gives you the ability to cut waves without slamming into them or stuffing the bow. The ride is still rough on plane because there is little to no dead rise. I have a 1448 Alumacraft F7 (Semi-V with flat bottom) that is very stable and will handle some rough water, but you best hold on, it's a rough ride. For a smooth ride you want a dead rise around 20*. I couldn't find the angle for the Lowe, it's something you will want to look at. Sounds like a Mod-V jon would work halfway decent for you, they will handle waves a lot better than a jon (will still pound though), and still have a pretty shallow draft. [/QUOTE]
