hard bottom is the way to go.
100x more stable and the ride is smooooth

Raider: maybe you haven't noticed the ones that the CG runs with the enormous turbo diesel in em?

Soft bottoms with floorboards and an inflatable keel actually work quite well. No worries at all pulling up on a soft beach...Now Brenton Point is a different story...

Fish: my parents have one of the Avon high pressure floor models.
Too much trouble with trebles and fish in there so my father threw a small sheet of plywood in the back about 45" long and full width. That way you can pin a fish against the transom NP.

Also conveinent for the dog to stand on and not have her freak out about the moving floor.
