I haven't ridden in a BERTRAM 20, but they are one SERIOUSLY DEEP V hull. The V-20 is a 20 degree deadrise hull at the stern, the BERTRAM 20 is 25 and some versions of it are said to be 28 degrees. They need alot of HP to push them because of the deep V with most having a V-8 inboard in them or a LARGE outboard. And being 20 feet with that deep of a V, I imagine it would rock like no tommorrow in a drift. I've read that even at anchor they can whip you around if there is much of a sea. In all honesty they are 2 completely different classes of boats. The V-20 is more of a practical all around hull VS the BERTRAM 20 with it's extrem deep V.
