[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 84558, member: 751"] That is a semi V and is fairly stable and good in a chop.I think the 20HP is a good deal.$600 is a fair deal but I'd try to haggle a little.You may get your money back by selling the Evenrude. When it comes to jon boats there are some things to consider.The area of use,wind,and waves. flat bottom jon=stable/bad in waves or rough water/40 inch or wider good for decks/use in calm rivers,small lakes,ponds mod V(AKA modified V)= a little less stable/good in light chop/most are wide enough to deck/use fast flowing choppy rivers,larger lakes,rivers, and ponds semi V = even less stable stable/good in rough water and white caps/keep decks low over 40inches wide,under 40 inches is usually to tippy for decks/use in rivers,lakes,ponds,rough water and small swells,keep weight low in hull Deep V= stable but is usually used on large and wide boats/good in rough water and small swells/most have fishing decks/use in most any waters and conditions This is just a general description of the boats and uses.Always keep to the safety limits and weight limits of your boat.
