However, if you intend to use your boat in both shallow water and choppy water, there is an alternative to both a flat bottom boat and a v-hull boat which I will cover later in this article.

However, if you intend to use your boat in both shallow water and choppy water, there is an alternative to both a flat bottom boat and a v-hull boat which I will cover later in this article.
There are many other types flat bottom boats available including drag boats, tunnel hull boats, double wide Jons and many different types of river boats. [links]
The drift boat is an iconic shallow water vessel that began its life in the turbulent waters of Oregon. The drift boat was a natural evolution from the ocean dory that was carried on a larger vessel.
Rafts are used for river rafting as they can ride rapids up to Class V. Obviously this makes them completely different to other flat bottom boats. here
Would a 16' deep V hull with a flat carpeted floor and deck be as stable as a comparable 1648 mod v bottom? I know you would gain mobility in rougher water with the deep V, but is that at the cost of stability for fishing? I never considered buying a deep v, but I have come across some nice deep v boats and was wondering how they compare. I guess my real question should be what are the pros and cons
Well. I guess it depends on the type of fishing you do. I'll explain from my perspective as primarily a bass fisherman and fish primarily electric only reservoirs. What I want is to be able to stand up and cast my lures overhand or underhand at any angle. That said, having the deck as close to the gunwale of the boat as possible allows me to do this. On a 1648 flat bottom, I could do this and have the boat be (what I would consider) stable. Decking most v-hull boats this way would be much more unstable. The mod V would be somewhere in between, but would be significantly more stable than the v-hull. If you decked the v-hull at the floor, it will certainly be much more stable than if your raise the decks, but you won't get the same mobility that you would from a flat bottom.

As a bass fisherman (who wants to stand and fish), I think a v hull is not the best choice. If I did a lot of trolling, I think the v-hull would be my choice. [links]
Monohull Pro: Monohulls generally have larger cabins. Especially when it comes to cuddy cabin boats, having the single wider hull at the bow makes for a lot more space down below. In a powercat, the forward sections of the hulls are often too narrow to effectively utilize for cabin space. here
Monohull Con: Monohulls often have a deeper draft. Especially in deep-V hull designs, this can be an important consideration if you enjoy both inshore and offshore angling.
Monohull Con: Many monohulls take more spray over the bow. This depends quite a bit upon the conditions and direction of the wind and waves, but generally speaking, monohulls are going to be the wetter boats (unless you have a sneezing cat). here
As this pair of 27 foot fishboats shows, power cats and monohulls can be quite different. Which one will you choose?
Power Cat Con: Building two hulls takes more materials, and more manpower. As a result, when you match up a cat and a monohull of equal length and quality, the cat will almost always be more expensive.
These seem to give pretty good flexibility, with movable pedestal seats instead of the large bench seat type arrangements of most fiberglass fish and ski boats. They also seem to be more of a fishing boat and less of a ski boat, which is the opposite of the fiberglass fish and ski type boats that I've looked at. Why are these boats not more popular around here? more
I've decided to upgrade from my little bass tracker to a bit larger boat that we can use to fish and tube/kneeboard/ski with (general use family boat ). I'm looking at the aluminum Lowe, G3, or tracker Targa deep V fish and ski models, specifically this one:
I want to use the boat for catfish, bream (my wife ), some bass (not much though ), and trolling for crappie. i also like to fish below the dam on occasion.
What are the pros and cons for these aluminum deep v type boats for our area? Any input would be appreciated! more
