[QUOTE="airshot, post: 501913, member: 1183"] Looking at the stern it is what we here in the great lakes area would call a V hull. No semi or modified as the stearn is rounded, almost flat. My 16' Sylvan is called a semi V as there is a small V at the transom and it rides very well up to around a two ft chop, higher than that it gets rough. Years back had a deep V, good ride in rough seas of three ft but not great in 1-2 ft chop. My semi rides the same in 2 ft as the deep V. With my current 16' I dont plan on going out in 3' and above, my limit is 2' waves and for that, a semi V is fine. Your flat/ rounded bottom will be a little tippy but that boat was not designed for waves over a foot, so follow common sense and you will be fine. [/QUOTE]
