I think Striper80 nailed it. The guy I got mine from bought a Seaswirl Striper 23' WA after fishing the V20 in the California ocean for years and told me later that the 20.5' V was better in the ocean than the 23' Striper. The extra length and a little more beam and bigger cuddy would pretty much solve any problem I have with my V.
