Well, i've been spending alot of time online looking at everthing that's out there. I've also been calling around and getting some quotes. On tuesday i'm going up to look at some Crestliner's that a place near me said they have in stock. Starting to get a little excited here.

I have a couple questions. What are the advantages of the modified V to the flat-bottom? Is one more stable than the other and is there anything I should avoid as far as jon-boats go?

And now a question about outboards. I'm probably going to go with a 9.9 Honda 4 stroke, but there are others out there that are way cheaper. I've seen Nissan outboards for several hundred less and they offer a 3 year warranty. Does anyone know anything about these motors, good or bad?

Sorry for all the questons, but i'm just way outta the loop as far as boats go and I don't want to get something i'm going to regret.
