Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The lines of the V-20, which I find to be as close to "classic" as a glass boat can be, might look somewhat dated to many of today's newer boaters.
I spent a little time walking around the marina last evening, sizing up some of the competition. As was stated by spareparts and phatdaddy, lots of center consoles and walkaround cuddy's, and elevated helms, as opposed to my PD, which looks lower in the water thanks to both its lines and its low top.
Aside from all the V-20s obvious attributes, I really like how the old-timers I run into instantly recognize the boat, despite the fact that I have no decals or markings on her. They'll always say something like, "That's a great hull," or, "good, strong boat," and invariably, "I" or "a friend of mine had one years ago . . . man, that was one tough boat."
