If they would make a downeast style deck with a deep V planing hull like a V20's at a reasonable cost I would be all over it. And yes, I know that Shamrock and a few others do make somewhat similar boats, but they are mostly inboards and I/O's.. and they cost way too much for this poor retiree.

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.
