This is a awesome hull for bad water. I fish and dive off of mine. I agree with the flare causing water up and over in higher winds and big seas ( I cross the columbia river bar, graveyard of the pacific,up to 30 times a year, swell up to 12 feet with 3 foot seas.) I have addressed this well with the enclosure(Picture below) and it works great for the diving and keeping the wind and seas off of you. I have a 200HO E-Tec on mine--works well with the heavy loads of diving gear for 2 or 3 dives a day. I have had some real nice boats over the years and I am very happy with my 88 V-20. I regularly run 50+ miles off of the washington coast for fishing and have no worries about the boat and her performance--could use some more fuel storage though.
