Boat questions

rocki22 · 02-19-07, 06:43 PM

New here and hoping to get some advice from those more seasoned. I'm buying a new boat and my budget isn't big. Based on my needs and budget, I’ve narrowed it down to either a 14 foot v hull (Alumacraft T14V) or a 16 foot modified v jon (Lowe 1648M) that I plan to customize with floors, seats and storage compartments. (Not any high casting decks, however). I had a Tracker super guide 16 deep v before I lost it in a divorce, so I know the solid performance of a deep v. I live in Utah, so the lakes I fish aren't huge, but they can be windy at times. I will admit, I like the additional space and wider beam of a jon, but since I've never owned one, I'm wondering what the performance would be like in windy conditions with some chop on the water. Again, the lakes are not that big(up to 8,000 acres) and I'll be along the shore most the time anyway. Thanks for any input.
