Strike king KVD half shell. I killed em last year on this. They have a flat bottom, fairly short, and SUSPEND PERFECTLY HORIZONTAL in the water. Just a slight twitch makes the tail flicker side to side. They are short so nose rigging is a must.

What I find that works (and cheaper) is to take a spring out of an ink pen, cut it in half (maybe a Lil less) stretch it out a bit, bury it completely into the nose of your plastic lure, then just nose hook your lure just like normal (your hook will now go through the nose and the spring) It give the plastic more strength, they tear up less, and the lure is still free to move on the hook.

Anyone wanna buy a boat?

I was doubting due to the fact the semi V has a flat bottom as well and is 9 inches wider at the base.

Or this

SHORT VERSION I must decide between OLDER semi V boat (1970s) 14ft, semi v, flat bottom, 44 inch wide at base, 56 inch wide at top. Or NEW jon boat 200ish 16ft, flat bottom, 35inch wide at base, 52 inch wide at top. Ill be fishing mostly in a fairly calm lake (Elephant Butte, N.M) and want the most stable boat for myself and my two boys (11 and 13 years) I think that the old boat is more stable but cant afford to title and test them both. LONG VERSION Been hunting for a used jon boat. Couldn't find one in my area whih I liked (I live in the desert). Finally saw a 14 foot semi V with a flat bottom. Its an older boat (1970s) but doesn't leak and appears solid ($800 with trailer, 9hp outboard and old troller). A few days later I see what appears as my dream boat.($1500) 16ft flat jon boat 15hp outboard, 55 minn kota . So I buy it also thinking to sell the older boat. But the older boat is wider and probably more stable in the water for my two kids and myself. Have to quickly sell one before my woman realizes that I have purchased 2 boats
