In a quandary

[phatdaddy]

i started looking for a pilot house boat about 15 years ago t replace the v. i came to the same conclusion as charlie. you have to go to a 23/25 foot range to get the same usuable deck space. if a cabin is your primary reason for boating, get the steiger, if its fishing, tubing, etc, get the v. down here, the io would also be a deal killer, but you guys up north seem to have better luck with them, so thats just what you prefer. to me a pilot vs v20 both ob would be a tougher call.
