I had an 86 250 Sportsman. They are nice boats. But i did not like it. I had it and my V20 and one had to go. And it was the 250. A V20 has more usable deck space. The 250 rocked way too much for my liking. It needed to be another foot wider at least. Twin engines on the transom were useless for docking. It was sluggish at best. It did have a bigger cabin that was nice but i couldn?t stay in it. The sound of waves slapping the hull turns me queezy fast. The one night i tried sleeping in it i ended up sleeping in the truck. But just the size of it made rough water less nerve racking. I could cruise 25 in 3 to 4 foot seas. You would beat a V to death doing that.
