    Which Jon Boat, v hull or flat bottom

    So i've been looking for a little jon boat to fix up this winter and go out on the lake with.

    Do you think this Old Whaler is Worth 700?

    http://atlanta.craigslist.org/wat/boa/2114582616.html I was looking for a real cheap jon boat to fix up and take out solo...but this would be way cooler, depending on the amount of work it needed. Do these things typically have wood floors and transoms?
