Hey Camohull, I have a 198 DLX. I have had it many lakes, rivers and in the ocean. The DLX is a completely flat bottom boat. Carolina Skiff makes some boats with a small V in the hull.
Pros:
VERY stable boat
fairly inexpensive
lots of room
skinny water ( I have made it through waster less than 8")
Cons:
harsh ride in chop
sloppy steering in wind
This is my first boat. I bought it in Dec 06. Good boat.

the very dry ride

Which will set up the best for crappie fishing the DLX or the DLV ? Thanks for all your help I can't wait to meet some of you guys at a social\fishfry Thanks Camohull
the dlv has a little more frills in the steps and extra storage but dlx has more space - the rails on the dlx are the perfect height to put your rod holders - the dlv rides a little better but the dlx is a lot drier - over all I think the dlx is a little better for the crappie fisherman - don't get me wrong I thought changing over because of the steps in the boat - but then i thought again and decided it was cheaper to step on my cooler
with my mind on crappie and crappie on my mind -
