If Wellcraft brought back the V as it was, but without wood construction and a few other updates, would it sell if priced competitively ?
Is there a market for this boat ? Maybe some other upgrades, tweeks to the hull ( ok, so a new mold with increased deadrise), revised cuddy slider, and designed to handle a 225 hp max rating. I say yes. |

Probably, but cost would be an issue, and given the current "builders" thinking, it would probably have a Mediterranean style back which would completely ruin the style and cut down on the usable interior room. Still, it's an intriguing thought.

They tried it in early 2000's, and it did not do well. But that said it was totaly different!

center console might, but not the cuddy. i've heard the dual consoles are the new "cool".

Maybe if they stretched the hull a little to make the cabin a little larger and offered it as a WA. I personally love the hull shape.

Probably would not sell!
But if I could play around with a new look, I would increase the V20 by two feet, keep the cuddy, remove the windshield, add a center console helm, add a tee top, and add two aft jump seats. And, if you know boats, yes I'm in the market for a 220 Shamrock Cuddy!
