Just purchased my V20 Steplift a month or so ago. What a pleasure. I am a converted small Jon boat owner and got this ride for Lake Erie in Pa. It is an I/O with a Mericrusier 228 and 9.9 kicker. It came with an autopilot, electric downriggers and all the guy's Walleye fishing tackle. I can get it to 35mph on the GPS. (is that good/bad). This board was the deciding factor in me buying the rig. Seems like everyone who has one is in love with it. I have had it out 3 times in 3-4 foot waves and stayed high and dry. Looking forward to sharing experiences and talking with you folks. As soon as I figure out how to insert some photos, I will.
