I know that a lot of people say that a 150 is the ideal horsepower for a V20 but to my mind a 200 is way better. Granted you cannot normally use that much speed on the ocean because of the waves, etc. but on a smoother lake or river it is just a sweet ride at WOT. Your dad's boat looks nice. 
The gap I was talking about is inside your boat. if you stand inside and look at the stern where the bubble comes through the transom. Follow the stringers and there's a place where the vertical stringers go through the horizontal stringers + They could have been joined together for more strength but Wellcraft didn't do it. They left a gap between them of about an inch. That's the area I was talking about. Hard to tell from your pics if they did that on your hull but that was the case on mine.

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

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.
