I had an older 16' Lund deep v tiller with a 50hp Merc on it before someone hit it on the highway last year. In a hurry I thought I would try something new and went with a Javelin bass boat with a 115 and hate it. The ride is smoother on plane but I like sitting "inside" the boat when I'm trolling. I also almost troll exclusively and fish for more than one species of fish and the open floorplan of the "walleye-style" hulls just seem to fish better in my opinion. I've always been partial to a tiller because I spend m0re than 90% of my time fishing and not driving 60 down the lake so I'm not a big fan of the console boats. The wider deep v hulls ~90" that I've been looking at lately are rock solid stable but there is considerable difference in construction quality between brands when you start to pick them apart for the price. I'm looking at the Alumacraft Navigator currently and it is leading the pack thus far.
