Subject: RE: Jon boat or semi-vee

I have a Tracker 12 foot jon boat with 32 inch base. It is not the most stable thing in the world. But with 2 medium sized guys, one can for sure stand at a time. on benches... anywhere.
However, V hull takes waves MUCH better than the flat bottom. I take on quiet a bit of water if the waves are bad. If im going into the waves, I just move some weight to the rear of the boat. That usualy takes care of it.
Overall, I like having a flat bottom because when its hunting season, I can go anywhere. With 475 lb (Battery, Trolling motor, 2 men, gear, and a dog) I can boat in 8-10 inches of water.
