Whatknot, very nice looking boat! You have all the ingredients I would want in a V20: full transom, center console, with a 150. That said, I noticed that she sits a bit heavy at the stern. Mine does too, but at a stop my scuppers are still just above the waterline, though depending on the water conditions they bounce above and below the waterline. It looks like your scuppers are totally under the water even at a stop. Was water coming into the boat through them? This makes me believe that getting a 150 instead of my 200 really wouldn't make anything better as far as the way she sits in the water... Also, was your bait tank full at the stern? That would also weigh it down back there. My bait tank is also back there; factory installed. Don't know why they put it there...

Truth be told, I haven't seen many water shots of V20's where the scuppers weren't close to being under water. I suppose this is a design flaw in our boats

Nevertheless, your boat is beautiful. Good work!
