Re: 1979 v20 w/trailer no motor
 

It's the same as the one you posted in the other General Forums section. 24' Offshore. This isn't a boat that I personally know of. Just a picture I found floating around some time ago. Very nice looking boat. I would go for something like this over the Sportsman model which has the larger cuddy cabin. I'd much rather have the extra deck space, but that's just my opinion. That one you posted the link to looks very nice. May be worth checking out. ;)

Are you tellin me that the 24 offshore usees the same running surface as teh V-20? Please, say it ain't so. There might be a nice 87' comin on teh market soon....

I don't believe it's identical Airslot, but very close me thinks.

Re: 1979 v20 w/trailer no motor
 

the v 20 or step lift is a ray hunt design bertram hull. the 24 you see (and want) is a deep vee hull. similar yes but bertram was a trailblazer. this was the origional deep vee hull.

“Deep-V” hull design

The Deep-Vee was designed by Charles Raymond Hunt.
He designed the 30 foot wooden boat for Richard Bertram and the boat was named “Moppie”. “Moppie” won the 1960 Miami-Nassau powerboat race with the record breaking time of 8 hours for the 160 miles course with an average speed of 20 knots. Bad weather on the race day brought east winds at 22 knots with very rough 8 foot seas.
The boat was designed with constant 24-degree dead-rise running fore and aft with lifting strakes below the chine.
“No other single event has had as great an impact on powerboating as the 1960 Miami-Nassau race.” (Soundings May 1994)

Boat can cut through waves with a result of less pounding, and as well can maintain greater speed under rough seas.
Passengers of a boat can feel the good cushioned ride as the boat slams into waves while cruising at higher speeds.

The dual lifting strakes reduce the wetted surface at higher speeds.

The wide chines provide rock-steady stability while trolling, drifting or at anchor.

The wide flare (“Carolina-style” flared bow) directs the spray down and away for a soft, dry ride under most conditions.
