Location: Southern Ontario, Detroit River and Lake StClair | Being the owner of an Lowe 1860 Roughneck, which is a modified-V hull jon, I'll say its one of the the most stable platforms I've every fished out of including the 1850 tournement series Crestliner I used to run. I doesnt take real rough water like some boats but for standing and fishing out it's tough to beat. I can have 4 adults standing along one side while drift fishin walleye and not have a worry about it being unstable at all. On the other hand I will also say I've fished out of some 14' jons and mod-v hull jons that where on the narow side, (called 1436 and 1440 for size) and wasn't comfortable in them at all. The 1436 actually reminded me of fishin out of a canoe. Small jons are usually narrow and very shallow and you really need to be carefull in them. If thats the size and price your looking for I'd personaly be looking at a regular 14' V-hull aluminum.
Good Fishin'
