The thread in the for sale section made me think of this, do you have a favorite hull/boat. What is it? Mine would have to be the V20, the 31 Bertram and then some of the Carolina hulls. All three of these have very gracefull and seaworthy lines.
 
I like what is cheap and gets the job done!!

Shicks, what does that boat look like today?? Its been awhile or I just missed something
 
dont get me wrong... i love the v20 hull but they are just not big enough. if they came in a 24 or 25 i could love one forever. i will enjoy the crap out of my v20 until i can afford a 24-26 sportfisherman and then, bye bye wellcraft.
 
Wellcraft V20! Bow Flare is superperb, ride is excellent, gunnel height could be a little deeper. For what I do (Fishin) with mine its the Hull for me. Bill Mc ;D
 
I do have to admit one thing that looks a little odd sometimes is how round the bow is. It would look better if it came to more of a point.


M.J.,
I haven't seen nore heard of the boat in quite awhile either. ??? ???
 
I'm satisfied w/ the V/20. I occasionally get the itch for a bigger boat but then I remind myself that I would need to put fuel in it. If I had a bigger boat I couldn't get into some of the spots I like to fish. My problem now is that sometimes I find myself wishing for a center console as opposed to the cuddy that I have. Yall no how it is, can't be satisfied w/ what ya got.

Airslot,

I agree with with every last thing you said. As my wife says, "NS....................Never Satisfied" she's right, (don't tell her I said that)
 
V20 is up there. The only other ones I can think of is the Formula F233 which later was born again as the Albemarle 24. As for the general layout, I love center consoles with a small cuddy in the bow. I prefer to run and fish in an open boat but the cuddy is just so useful for storage. Mako used to have one. Dusky and a few others currently do.
 
pursuit also had a beautiful center console/cutty. what a boat!
 
Its funny I was just browsing the gallery, looking at the pics of everyones boats, and I to was wondering what happend to that project boat that Schicks just posted a link to.  He went to a lot of work.  I wish we could see some finished pics.
 
My other favorite boat, the Albemarle 24 is sitting in my backyard under shrinkwrap for the winter. It's a great boat but maybe not as versatile as the V-20, which is parked in the front yard locked and cocked...

I am suprised no one has mentioned Shamrock. I love the idea of an inboard diesel 20 foot center console.
 
I love all Carolina Hulls, I use to like CONTENDER BOATS but found out that they build their boats like Dixie use too. They make the hull in a split mold and make it in 2 halves then glass the 2 halves together. They have had problems with the hulls opening up in the center and splitting open front to rear and sinking instanly.
 
Couple of my favorites besides the V20.

1. Hiliner 222 Gypsy
2. Wellcraft Scarab Sport 302
3. Seacraft 20 ma, 23, 27
4. Hells Bay Marquesa 18
5. Contender 21, 23 tournament, and 31 fisharound
6. Cape Codder 19
7. Conch 27
