Yea it's a mod V. It has more of a bass boat set up than there Jon boats do. I actually just got it last week so haven't had a chance to hit the water yet.......rain, work and such but it won't be long. I don't know if your that crazy for staying small.I think one should fish out of what works for them and not a large boat just so your thingy looks bigger . I had a chance to get a larger boat than what i went with but for the type of water i have around me ( alot of electric lakes and a river that runs pretty shallow in alot of places) a 16' jet works well me for.
