Old Mossy Horns
Looking boats in the 17 to 20' range.
One thing I found was some of the MV boats just had a small V up front nothing on the rib going all the way back. Others have a MV front and very small V all the way back.
On the other side of things you have a flat, not true flat like the swamp boats but ribs on the flat.
The nice thing on that is the boat is wide up front and you don't have a point or V that takes room away.
It gives you lot more floor space and lots more deck in the front.
So my question is this for those that own and run them.
Most the time the front is out of the water when running at speed, so the only thing I see is if the v goes all the way back.
Will it help, will it change the ride much.
You still have the ribs for steering help.
So most flats would run like a carolina skiff (not V) or better because of the ribs correct.
Found a Alweld marsh 1756 and 1856 flat with floor I like.
Problam is no one has them in the water to try one then the other and drop the cash same day.
Not going to waste someone's time trying a boat that is used and no real plans to buy.
Found a few boats used but newer ones are within 1k to 3k of new and have extras I do not want of need.
They want to add In all the gear, jackets, floats, anchor, blinds or covers at retail.....
I have 10 anchors I do not want your 100$ anchor and rope or want it added in. Plus I have no kids and dont need a package that includes toys and 2 to 3 jackets that are worth 50$ each because you paid for them with the boat.
Then the others that look at their BOS that has all the taxes, doc fee, tags and the likes..... Then stateing I will be paying 2k less then they got it neww and they never used it......
Show them where I need to get tags, titles, use tax on the trailer....... Making it the same for a 2yo boat as new.....
People dont get it.
