Default Re: hows your ride

el pescador -

Keith Boyd described the v20 as a "wave dancer" and I really can't think of a better way to describe the ride.
24 - 27mph is the sweet spot.

The one and only recipe (that I know of ) for making hull slap in the v20:

Step one: add quartering seas (big chop)
Step two: distribute the weight such that it's grossly uneven ( i.e. three people are on one side)
Step three: increase speed to 25mph

When all these conditions are met . . . it's possible to come down a little hard on the heavy side of the V and generate hull slap.

If you keep the weight distributed evenly or use trim tabs to level the boat (when it's not) you'll avoid this rare occurance.
