    I am currently designing a bass boat and desire a hull with very little draft and a fair amount of stability. The vessel will be in the 12ft by 6 ft range used primarily for river fishing. These are the hull types I have been contemplating inverse vee, catamaran, tunnel hull, and tunnel vee. If anyone could rank these for me, tell me the pro’s and con’s, or supply another option, I would appreciate the help. If this helps any I intend to use a surface drive outboard to power the vessel.

    Thank You
