Do i like my wellcraft v20, just look at my name , that says it all
the reason why i think they discountinued the design is because some educated moron, said lets stop making it its been around along time and came up with another hull design, of course the a$%hole doest no a thing about boating or fishing, he must be the same brain that came up with the new coke[remember that ] look at the mustang it looks like the old one and its selling fast
next do i have regrets, hell no its a great all around boat, would i get one again absolutly not, why cause im not getting rid of my 1978 case close

Great questions. Great replies.
 
Wellcraft caved into the pressure and went with a more modern design. It was probably money related.
Cost/Benefit Analysis $$$ I agree that a depandable powerplant is critical to preserve ones life and equipment. Boats are not a good investment. The hole in the water gets larger if your first choice of boat does not fullfill your expectations or requires a lot of work. So be honest with yourself. Do you have the time to work on a real project boat or are you going to spend a little more up front to buy a turnkey boat with few if any known issues. Working on the boat is a rewarding experience for me but everyone is different. B-O-A-T LOL! How true.
My 20cc was free to me but I went overboard with the rebuild. It took too long to complete (10years)and I spent too much ($25K). I absolutely love the boat and It gets noticed. It is by all accounts NEW.
If I had it to do over I would tweak the master plan to save a few dollars and I would take more pictures. I'm not sorry I did it but I would not do another one either.
(Family man now, no time for major projects)
This site is awesome as I too am a new member. Lots of helpful, knowledgeable folks here. I am thankful for that.
My .02, Vic ttt
