Where to get a primer on V step 20's?

Like what does it actually mean? What years were the boats made and in what configurations?

I tried the History section of this sight but all it seems to be is old catalogs that won't load.

I have some small boat experience but a friend that has lots has recommeneded I look for a "V Step 20 hull" to repower and use on LI Sound. Are they only cuddy's or center consoles?

I would like a full transom, does that mean an I/O is mandatory?

This looks like a great site but I'm really at step one and you guys have been around it so long it seems like a different language at times.


Thanks, Rob
