I've had both, including a Lowe 1467WT (V-hull) and one big difference is
hull rigidity. Of the two jon boats I've owned, neither was nearly as
structurally stable as the Lowe. And the V-hull is much better in rough
water as previously stated.

Nothing wrong with a jon boat...I have owned several. But watch the bad
weather on big lakes...they don't do real well in big waves! You do get
better at handling rough conditions after learning the "quirks" of the
jon boats....but be careful till you know what you'er doing. Every boat
has it's strong points and weak points...enjoy your "ride"!
