Phat: thanks, let me know if you fish in the DLX sometime, I'd be interested in hearing your impressions compared to the V20.

I know it's dumb to "compare" the two boats being as they are so different in design...just trying to learn more about the V's. So many choices. Thanks for everyone's comments, I really like this board!! Maybe I need a J14, V20CC, 2480 DLX, and a 58' Hatteras...yeah, that would about cover it! Actually, with the gas prices, maybe just a canoe. Hey, I did run Hatteras Inlet in my kayak last year...I did twenty-two miles that day...didn't burn a drop of gas! :o
