Re: Notched Transom V20's
Though I'm sure the V20 is likely a better arrangment than my 92 Robalo 1820, which had a notched transom and a 25" motor when I drifted for fishing or had to back up for some reason in a swell of any kind the floor got splashed and sometimes very wet, it had a self bailing cockpit and it was supposed to do that apparently so heavy seas would flow right out. I did not like it at all and it is why I decided I would never have a salt water boat again without a full transom. The V20's seem to have a better splashwell arrangement on the ones I've seen so I don't know if it is the same, but the 1987 V20 I sea trialed in New York had the notched transom and a heavy 225 hp motor and when you had a following wave or came off of plane a little too fast it splashed up into the cockpit.
