bgreene,

Let me chime in here. There were three styles of the V-20 produced: cuddy cabin (most popular), center console and dual console. You need to figure out which stule fits your needs. I've owned a cuddy and a dual console and have fished out of a center console many times. All three have their advantages. From the lake pulling a tube or skier to offshore for snapper and tuna (done that many times), the V-20 is very versitle. Not a "deep V" boat, so she hammers the rough seas a little, BUT TALK ABOUT A DRY RIDE. THat carolina flair is what its all about. Not as sexy as a Seacraft, but more stable and functional. As others have said, production ran for over 25 years on the same molds. That ought to tell you something. Newer models had more fuel capacity, older models only had 18 gal saddle tanks which isn't nearly enough. Look at a 75' model then look at an 85' model. You'll see the deck is much thicker on the newer model. They raised the deck to fit a belly tank. A few tweaks here or there, but they pretty much stayed the same until the V-21 (bracket) came out in 94'-95'

I love my dually (88') and miss my old cuddy (75')!
