If you are fishing areas with little wave action and you want to deck it then I would trade/sell it and get a flat bottom because you won't be able to get the stability that you would get in a flat bottom. Mine is a 16 ft Grumman and 3 men can stand at one side and comfortably fish without fear of tipping ....... very stable ....... However, if you fish waters with 1-3ft wave then you would probably need a V hull because it has higher sides to handle the turbulance ...... but you would still need a larger wider boat if you wanted to deck it out .......
