Appreciate the input guys. As for the skiff, that would be great for me but the purpose of this switch is to maintain my same fishability while increasing recreational opportunity. Plus the wife wants "sides" on the boat.

Seems a deep v will be the best of both worlds.

Glad to hear about your experience Earl, since that is my most likely option going new...I know I could expand my options going used but there is only one dealer I trust and that of course comes with a markup.
