New boat help

[beretta]

Hey boys Im thinking about getting a new boat (if I can get rid of the one I have now). Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on what style. Im going to get a Crestliner because I can get it for cost through work. My budget is an issue as I will be going to college this fall (you remember how it is ) I am going to keep my old motor (35 horse) and put it on this boat to save some money. I am going to use this boat for fishing and hunting on bigger water. I have been looking at this one-

Heres the specs-

Specifications

Length 16' (4.9m)

Beam 75" (191cm)

Bottom width 52" (132cm)

Side depth 21" (51cm)

Modified V hull 6° Deadrise

Number of ribs 12

Approx. hull weight 360# (161kg)

Maximum HP capacity 35

Max. people capacity 5

Max. weight capacity 1155# (513kg)

Aluminum hull gauge .100"

Transom height 20" (51cm)

My concern is that it wont handle rough water as well as say the Canadain or some other v style hull boat. What do you guys think? Does anyone have this style boat? How do you like it?

Thanks for any help you can give me. I really appreciate it!

Jon style boats will pound your brains out on rough water. These models are called v's but are usually about a 3 deg v. You really need to get up around 12 deg of v at the transom for a semblance of a smooth ride.
