Post Looking for a new boat!
Well Im heading down tomorrow to the Phowler boat shop to look at some new boats. I really like the 1848 xtreme v series. I run alot of big water wear the v would be nice and some timber. Wondering if anyone has a similar rig and how it runs. I would be putting my modded 35mb on it. Let me know some opinions on it. Thanks

V's are overrated on these boats in waves. You can not put a sharp enough v to make it cut through the waves. Length is better for the rough water in my opinion. 19' boat will get up on top of them if you have the power.

I've got some first hand experience in that boat. It doesn't run big water any better than any other flat bottom boat. If anything, I got twice as wet in that boat than I did in a regular boat.

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. Go here and click on the "donate a mammogram". This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.
