Comparing the two is like apples and oranges I think. For me the Wellcrafts provide a great deep V design that can be picked up for little money. You can't find a similar hull produced today without spending $30-40 grand. The Wellcrafts, while having a decent name for themselves, don't have the automatic premium on price like Whalers and some other manufacturers do. For what it's worth, Ray Hunt designed the V20 Hull and the original Whaler 13.
