One thing I like about a flat bottom is the stability factor. Won't cut the waves like a V-hull, but I do a lot of standing and casting. Since it's smaller Jon boat, it's very low side, which makes handling fish or rinsing hands easy.
Plus I can get into real shallow areas, a plus for catting and carping.
But there's di
vantages if if gets very wavy, or dealing with the Powersquad on bigger lakes. But I can launch things a bigger boat couldn't manage.
Aluminum is nice - lighter, but also noisier than a fiberglass - if you look into something bigger. My bigger boat is a tri-hull, but it's narrow.
