Yeah my buddy has an aluminum 16ft v hull. It's a smooth ride, but parking under a bridge fishing it can get uncomfortable easy for whoever is sitting in the "V" at the front. But it handles the chops very well. Thank you for your input on this guys. This isn't my first time asking this question, but new faces - new ideas! Have a great day guys. Oh, and the Kayak idea .... I'm not comfortable THAT low to the water.
