Cool

Hi and welcome aboard Rookfish. !996 was the last year they (Wellcraft) made the V20 hull. So the 210 and other newer models are not V20's
What makes them special is the step lift chines & lifting strakes on the bottom of the hull. As the boat goes faster and faster it lifts up on those "steps", creating less drag than a normal boat hull of the same size would do. Couple that with an over-sized "Carolina Flare" bow that pushed the water away from the boat instead of over it and you get a fast, stable, dry ride in most cases. (No hull is 100% wave proof all of the time. Depending on winds, speed, current, etc, there are times when even the driest riding hull will get you wet). But I digress. The V20 steplift was the longest continuously produced hull in history. And for good reason. It just works.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
