Do they make a 20 ft boat that doesn't pound? Heck do they make a boat under 25ft that doesn't pound in sloppy conditions. Plus if it is that bad out even a big sporty may not pound but will make you turn green and blow grits. I've been in some pretty nasty chop making 100 + mile round trips and I haven't met a sea I could not run 12 -15 mph in. Was it comfy? Nope. Did we come back 2" shorter? Yes. Did I have to have fillings replaced? Yes. But it wouldn't have been comfy in any other boat either. A bigger boat would have been more confortable but still not comfy.
Look at how long they made them and how many they sold over all of those years of production and it is easy to see what the fuss is about. I would recommend looking in the History section off the main page at the brochures for each year. Read what it says about the V20/21. It pretty much sums it up.
I wonder if the new boats of today will even hold up for 16 years? Let alone 30 yrs. Doubtfully.
I would like to ride in a cc.
