I had a deep V Smoker Craft (very similar to a Lund) on the lake here. We often have a lot of wind (and a lot of waves from the big boats). I liked the safety of the boat because waves would not be problem as far as coming in the boat. But, I traded it in after about 2 years as there was so much boat surface that the wind would catch, and the trolling motor just could not keep up with it. I went to Bass Pro and almost bought one of their models--crappie or another similar jon-boat style boat. I never thought I would buy a jon-boat style boat but after my experience with the wind with the deep V I changed my mind! And on the way back from Springfield we stopped at a Landau dealer and saw a Landau 17' 3" that I really liked, so we bought that. Two live wells, two depth finders and a 50 horse Suzuki 4-Stroke. I troll a lot and the 4-Stroke is great for that!
Just my opinion, some guys really like the deep V.
