the v-20 is one of the most [if not the most] versatile, safe, comfortable, stable, dry,and w/ the big horsepower, pretty fast hull as well. In a 20 footer you're not going to find a better boat. Good luck in you're search...ask many questions, everyone here is eager to help.
V20's (and 21's) are the DO IT ALL BOAT (and then some). The perfect mid-size boat. There is nothing closer to in-between than the V20. The boat wears many hats. Lake, bay, inshore, offshore waterway, sound (carport drinking beer ;D) - and most importantly - behind the truck headin down the highway. I pulled that V21 down from VA over 230 miles in my V8 Jeep Cherokee.
I don't know what else to say. Its already been said. I 2nd the "snicker when I see those guys" with 25 - 40 k in a boat of the same class that aren't as well thought out. 8)
