Wellcraft V20 Community

It's real. Wellcraft brought the V20 back into production (same name totally different boat). I saw one at a Boat show in 2004, before moving to CA. If you search the site there was a thread on it from 2004.

SARASOTA, Fla. ***8212; The new V21 Cuddy ***8212; based on the boat that was a major part of the Wellcraft line for more than 26 years ***8212; is being introduced by Wellcraft Marine.

The model was discontinued from the Wellcraft line in the mid-1990s, ***8220;But so many people asked for this closed-deck cuddy saltwater fishing boat, we***8217;re bringing it back as part of the 2004 lineup,***8221; said Dean Samuelson, president of Wellcraft Marine.

The V21 is an able-bodied fishing machine equipped with a 116-quart lighted Kodiak baitwell with an overboard drain. There is rod storage under both gunwales, two stainless steel gunwale-mounted rod holders, and two 40-quart insulated fish boxes on both port and starboard with overboard pumpouts.
