Whatknot, very nice looking boat! You have all the ingredients I would want in a V20: full transom, center console, with a 150. That said, I noticed that she sits a bit heavy at the stern. Mine does too, but at a stop my scuppers are still just above the waterline, though depending on the water conditions they bounce above and below the waterline. It looks like your scuppers are totally under the water even at a stop. Was water coming into the boat through them? This makes me believe that getting a 150 instead of my 200 really wouldn't make anything better as far as the way she sits in the water... Also, was your bait tank full at the stern? That would also weigh it down back there. My bait tank is also back there; factory installed. Don't know why they put it there...
Truth be told, I haven't seen many water shots of V20's where the scuppers weren't close to being under water. I suppose this is a design flaw in our boats  Nevertheless, your boat is beautiful. Good work!

BGA, it looks as though he is running a late model 150 YAMAHA which would be essentially a 200 de-tuned. So his engines weight is pretty close to that of your 200.

Ahh, okay. Thanks Ferm, that makes sense...
By the way, I sent you an email last night. Did you get it? I should have sent it through the PM's instead... sorry about that...

There are no scuppers right now. Everything runs to the bilge. The boat seems to stay dry and I won't be leaving it in overnight unless I'm camping a few feet from it. Haven't had it in rough water though. Wondering if a t-top will make me happier. Bait tank was empty. My tank won't need to be filled to the rim most of the time. Shrimp don't need much water, but menhaden do when I go offshore. As far as trim tabs go, what's the word on the QL system. Anyone have any experience w/them? And thanks for the kind words. It was a great 1.5 hour trial run. I took this boat down (short of removing the bow rail)I did all that by myself? huh. Looking for a gallery to show progress and almost finished product.
