I had a John Allmand 25 footer with an OMC I/O powered by a GMC350ci engine. It was like a torpedo.. long and fast. But as THEFERMANATOR said, it rolled horribly when it wasn't moving. Not enough to be dangerous, just enough to be uncomfortable. But it had the same general sort of deck as a V20, and the hull had lifting strakes and a wide flared bow just like a V20's. All in all it was a well build boat. Heavy, dependable, strong.

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.
