Does anyone know if there is a big difference in stability or even ride between the two? We have a 16ft Mod-V with a raised deck and looking for a second boat but there are slim pickin's here in Colorado to choose from.

I am wanting someting around 18ft with a 1 foot or so raised deck. At this size is it even something to think about?

mod-v will ride MUCH better in choppy water!!! Stability should be pretty comprable with that size boat..

Yea we have a 16.5 mod v with a 21'' raised deck it rides great and is very stable. it should be just fine on an 18'

Our Mod V has been awesome but there is just not allot of boats around here to pick from or at all. I am just wondering if it worth jumping on a flat bottom if I found one before a Mod V.

Ive personally have no preference i just bought i Flat bottom my self which is a less smoother ride but the price was right and i didnt buy it for the ride i bought it to kill fish :tu:

 

[KY Bighead]

depends on what you're looking to spend!!

I have a 1648 mod v and it rides nice and its stable with an 8inch raised deck three guys on it

If your only using a troller or kicker motor with it a mod v will be fine. If you want a fan and the ability to shoot as shallow as possible then stick with the flat bottom.

I think it depends more on what type of water you are fishing. I had a SeaArk 1872 modV and kicked myself for not getting a flatbottom instead. We fish in a lot of shallow water and the keel dragged on everything.

 

[Slaughterhouse_Bowfishing]

our problem is that the trolling motor, pulled all the way up still hits the bottom a couple inches or so before the boat does and if we need to go shallower than that for some reason we just poll

love my 1860 mod-v!

I agree with the type of water argument if your beatin banks all night then you can't beat a modv now if your fishings flats and stuff a flatbottom is where it's at both have there pros and cons a mod v has the driving capabilty that a flatbottom only wished it did but a flat bottom the size your talkin about the "fishing"stabilty will be much better. I have found there is no right answer in this sport it's all personal preference

 

[loweredchevy88]

i would go with a flat bottom

 

[NateG]

i wouldnt get rid of my flatbottem if some 1 game me triple what i asked

just repeating what everyone else has said i know but it just comes down to what the water you shot is

personally for me i cant imagine ever having another true flat bottom my semi will get pretty shallow and i will give up the few places i cant get for the handleing of the semi v on the lakes we sometime shoot

 

[T.S.B.Roscoe]

im actually going this weekend to get my flatbottom so ill let ya know my opinion...but i have fished out of a mopd v and she fishes good just not to good in the shallows

 

[Throughthegills]

I've fished out of both and both have their advantages and disadvantages.Personally I wouldn't own nothing but a flat UNLESS I mainly fished around a bunch of big open rough water.

 

[dustin]

i like a flat bottom but thats my opinion. if you do alot of open lake running then a mod v will ride a lot better.

I couldn't have said it better.
