[QUOTE="surfman, post: 446696, member: 7404"] So what is the dead rise of the boat you are looking at? Most of these so called V bottoms are pretty flat and only the nose is V, if you keep it trimmed down so that the nose cuts the waves it has a much better ride but, if you run it with the nose up it will pound just like a jon, at least that has been my experience. You can run faster with it trimmed up but smoother with it trimmed down. The 16's are pretty stable you drop down to a 14 and if you like to stand and fish, like I do, then they are pretty darn wobbly, again, that has been my experience. [/QUOTE]
