the only boat I know of that has a similar layout and capability, that is lighter than the V is the Sea Craft Safari or Scepter 20. Even though its a 20ft boat, its a little smaller than the V, Weight posted for the Scepter is 1650 bare hull, 1800 for the Safari. I know they tend to run better with smaller hp than a V will. If you get any smaller than that, the cuddy tends to take up too much room. Stingray use to offer a closed bow 176 and 192, they offered it mostly in I/O, but the "cabin" is more of a crawl space or storage area
