V-bottom or jon?

[tear-em-up]

I was thinking mod. v. Had people say the wind catches the bow of the vee's more where they stick up.Probably just using it in smaller water I have a 21ft. center console maycraft I use salt water fishing.

To me if ya fish rivers or small bodies of water the jon boat is king. If ya fish larger lakes and open water the V is king. I have a flat bottom now but next will be a V. If I was buying today this would be it G3 Boats - Outfitter V170 T or I also like this in 16' or 18' G3 Boats - Guide V18, V16 XT, V16, V14 XT, V14, V12 and mod it to my liking.

You mean like this one? I don't think the wind is any bigger issue with this boat, versus a 17 foot Jon boat with a 7 foot beam.

Exactly!! That is one awesome rig to me.

Mod V for me.

I have a 18 and a half ft. G3 modified V.....I love it.

if you're fishing into the wind, i'd take the v no doubt. if you're not, neither one w/o a drift sock.

Mod V

Depends on where you fish. I have a modified v (G3 17 foot) and it lends itself well to most of my fishing situations. But sometimes I wish I also had a small jon for those lakes around here that are really small.

Get a modified v and have the best of both.

Love my Tracker PT 185. It can handle any kind of waves that mother nature can stir up on our lakes and reservoirs here in Indiana.
Low profile for windy conditions as well.

Deep V for wide open deep water and a mod-v or jon for smaller (protected) tight water. All depends how and where you fish.
