New hulls VS oldies

bassarama · #1 10-31-2006, 12:02 AM

Hey there guys

Are the newer V20 hulls shaped like the older ones, i.e. bow flare, dead rise angle, freeboard, beam etc. etc?

I like the lines of the mid 70’s hulls, I wonder about the 90’s and newer models. :)

Thanks

Joe

The bottom hull is the same from 60's tio 90's!!

But there were many changes in nthe liner and cap over the years!

JMHO, but the older Vs...< '79 had a little more character in their look, then they added flotation, self-bailing deck, more freeboard and in-floor fuel-tank, so no question, DEFINATE improvements...

...then the 21 came along like Blue Runner's...21 is good boat 8)...Blue Runner is DAWG ;) 8) ...

My 21 doesn't have the flair that the older ones have. I mean its flair, but it ain't :o FLARE :o

Used to park my 4-wheeler and lawn mower under the '72 flair. Stayed dry as a bone ;).

My 76 has kept me dry in some downpours.. It also makes great shade from the blistering sun!

You guys are riots ;D

From what i see on photos, the flare on the V21 is very much like the oldies :-/ I'm runing out of room in my 2 bay garage so I though, hey if I get a V20....
;D

Nice pic Dan

Thanks, only becuase I'm a better photographer than I am a fisherman... I'm hoping to improve that this winter.

My V is basically a pleasure craft until I can outfit it with some gear. Buying a house killed my cash flow for a while, I was lucky to be able to afford the V!
