Best " year " for the V20

With interest in this boat, was there a " best " time period of production ?

Meaning, since the original model was launched, did Wellcraft make any improvements over the years leading up to the last production year of 96 ?

Likewise, was quality any lower during any of the years ?

Were the transoms all the same in terms of water intrusion, tanks, hull, fit, finish etc.

I'm a new member to this site, and I like it !
Thanks

I think it was Charlie the Tuna that pointed this out but EVERYONE knows that 1986 was the best year ever built....all years before that were protoytpes and all years after that they were going down hill!!!!

All of them were built either on a Monday or a Friday except in 1994...there's a little known fact for ya!

Hum.......something tells me that the 2 posting answers are not necessary based on scientific or other specific verifying data.. !

They made changes in every model year, and there were changes within the same year for different models, I/O Sea Drive outboard, equipment packages etc.
It does seem that the changes were all thoughtful improvements rather than change for change sake. So it would seem logical the newer the better as far as addressing shortcomings.
That being said the hull itself did not change so a early vintage if kept up with and with some modifications would be a darn fine boat. The two major changes that addressed problems in the V20's is the filling the hull cavities with flotation after a few years of production and the raising of the floor height somewhere around 1988 or so depending on model. This of course addressed the water draining and coming into the thru hulls on pre floor change boats.
I have had a 1986 and now a 1992, love em both, ride the same, same room and just great boats.
