I like mine for all the reasons posted above. I also like her because a new boat with similar attributes would cost up to 30-50 grand or more. It's a cool feeling pulling up along side someone who just second mortgaged their house to get on the water and knowing my boat is more seaworthy, rides better, and even looks better (besides a couple of character lines on the old lass). Not to mention I've talked to a couple of guys who sold their V-20s to "move up" and tell me the always regreted it.
