Freeman 34VH, 37VH, 42LR, OR 47T. Any one of those. :love:

Surprised no on mentioned a Boston whaler.

Cheoy Lee trawler in the 40' range. Big enough to do the great loop, but not so big as to make doing the great loop a problem. Or a Cheoy Lee Motorsailer in the 50-60 foot range. Big enough to go around the world if I wanted.

On shear LOOKS

the V20s are just the tops of 20fters.:love:
All three models... but the cuddy is just special.

The Seacraft 20 CC was very close 2nd place

Shamrock Pilot House had a look...


If I stuck to a new 20 footer it would be tough. Don't like the euro transoms and permanent moulded-in seating on anything. No room. Built for women.


I moved up in size to a Grady 265 Express. Motors on transom with a tailgate. Fishing machine. Of course, they don't make it anymore.

The v20 to me there are no comparisons I would buy another on in a second First choice is my boat second choice another V20 .dont need a bigger one and there are no better ones .

I don’t like the euro transoms either. Doesn’t look very nautical and, interested if anyone knows about this, looks like a following sea would be inclined to climb the transom and swamp the boat.

Completely agree on the Shamrock. Have always loved those boats.

you ever run a Shamrock? Ive run a couple, they really suck

never rode on one. I really liked the look but suspected they were a dog that couldn't steer or get outta their own way.

I really liked the look of a Parker too until I stepped down into a cabin.

Is it too late to change my answer? I’m gonna go with REGULATOR. doesn’t matter which one. I’ve always liked the 26 express.
