[QUOTE="CarlF, post: 87818, member: 1159"] I forgot to mention stability: in calm waters & boats of similar length & width, the flat bottom jon is most stable, followed by the mod-v jon. semi-v's are less stable, the narrower ones can be tippy. My mod-v jon is a 1440 and pretty darn stable. When I buy a semi-v next year, it will have a 68 or 70" beam. For [u]most[/u] hulls of the same length, You need more beam in a semi-v to get the same stability as a jon boat. Once again, the key is buying the widest longest boat you can afford and use it within its limitations. [/QUOTE]
