Charlie: I dont know if you have an I/O or an outboard but I have had both in the v-20 and in the I/O version my 82 was very *** heavy with three or more people and rolled a lot. I had trim tabs installed and it made a big difference but it was expensive and took some getting used to. If it were now I would look hard at the nautica automatic Sport Tabs which comes in at around $100 or so and easy to install. My 83 only has a 150 outboard on it and I installed a SE 300 fin for under $50 which jumps it right up on plane and is excellent at keeping the bow down in a nasty head sea at low rpm. Trailer Boat magazine did a comparison on fins and it came out on top .The v-20 is certanly not a perfect boat but has a loyal following for lots of other good reasons but I agree its not the greatest riding and some simple design flaws like scupper's right at water level and floor drains that are almost impossible to get to etc. On the other hand ,If you can level it out it will cut through the slop and keep you dry..I think if wellcraft came out with a v-26 or so with the same v-20 flair with large tanks and twin's it would be a big seller...Frank
