Well the CC rides best of all as far as I can say. I have never rode in the Dual Console but I bet they are a close 2nd. And the Cuddy, they ride nice but tend to be a bit heavy up front and tends to bang at times.
That said those that have added Trim Tabs love the ride and they are a great close to shore boat and have tons of room! You can dive, tube, fish, curz, anything!

Flimsy??? Who ever said that has never been near a V20!! They are solid rock hulls! You will find nothing new that is as strong!

" Great riding, seaworthy, well made boat "
You can bet your life on it!! I took a 10 foot wave over the bow, and filled the boat to the gunnles with water and she went thur like a champ! after some bailing that is! But the boat was un hurt!
I will say there is not another 20 footer out there that I would feel safer in!

transoms are weak
Considering that they ran for the most part from 1970 to 1994 that makes the oldest 40 years old and the newest 16 years old they do pretty good!

Yes there are plenty that need work but for there age there are plenty that re just fine, and if you are not afraid of some work you will have a great sea worthy boat for cheap!

I sold mine 3 years ago after 9 years as I have grown out of it with chasing Tuna, Shark, 30 miles off shore for Cod and such.
But if I could afford 2 boats I would buy anoter one in a second for inshore!

Look in the for sale section, Willy has one sweet cuddy for sale right now!
