Which boat would you keep

[Lion hunter]

I bought the silver boat in the pictures so I could get the motor and trailer. Now I'm at a dilema as to which boat to keep. The tan boat is a mirrocraft. Really a well made boat and very strong but it is shallower and narrower than the other. The silver boat is essentially flat bottom so it is more stable and deeper. The problem I have with the silver one is the floor seems rather weak between the supports. Looks like a beer can popping up and down when you go across the water.

By the way does anyone know what kind of boat the silver one may be? There is no hull tag or ID.

I'd put a floor in the Silver one and call it a day personally. I had a shallow boat before, and it was a great puddle jumper, but that was about it. The Silver one can get you where you need to go and stay a little drier.

That's were I'm torn. The mirrocraft is only 2" shallower in the center but it a deeper V si it gets shallower at the edges. The silver one being mostly flat bottom is the same depth all the way across.

I'd be after the one that is the most comfortable to fish out of then...

Thanks for the help. I am keeping the silver boat. Mainly for safety and fishing. The floor is wider and a better fishing platform. And it's deep enough tho keep the kids in the boat. I put some floors in it so it is easier to fish from as well.
