Another difference I've noticed is I haven't seen any storage space under the deck. I'm wondering if the fuel tank takes all the usable space ??? Also, there are only those small access panels around the fuel tank, not a cover. So if a fuel tank replacement is required you'll have to cut out the deck. My dad's '96 Wellcraft Excel is the same way.

I'm still considering trying to get this V, but I'm trying to figure out a way to get a non-biased look at the boat without driving 10 hours myself. My luck with V's hasn't been the greatest so I'm a little hesitant of driving that kind of distance simply hoping for the best.
