[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 408214, member: 12995"] If you want to add a deck, you might be better off looking for a mod V instead of a deep V. A deck on a deep V will probably be more unstable/unbalanced. Price wise, you may be better off buying a package with boat, motor and trailer and make sure the owner will demo the motor running properly for you. Try to get the owner to take it out on the water for you so can get a good idea of how the boat handles so you'll know if it's too rough for you or if it tends to lean to much to the side when leaning over to reach into the water (to handle all the fish you are going to catch). I've bought boats without running them in the water and they worked out fine. Most boats I've bought the owner took me for a run. I always offer to demo the boat when I sell and most people bought them after the demo ride. [/QUOTE]
