I'm planning on buying a Jon boat to convert to a bass rig. I'm willing to buy it new if it means getting the optimal boat for my needs. The big issue I need to figure out to zero in on the boat I want is which type of bow.

Does anybody have and suggestions whether to go with the traditional flat nosed style or the pointy modified V style?

What are the tradeoffs of each?

Does it make much difference to stability while fishing?

Much difference to handling when shooting down the lake? Choppy water?

Anything else?

Thanks,

Pete
