Ok, Im gonna say it...

I've been in all kinds of boats and gotta say the V-20 cuddy at the right speed ( varies with conditions ) is the driest boat of it's size I know of.

In a short chop,...it glides across the top but, solid as a rock. I've also brought it in from offshore in 8-10 seas and felt safe nuff to not worry about making it in.

Hey Willy, I have metal fused to bone too,,,,broke my neck in 1997 shattering C-5 and C-6. I know, I shouldnt be walking,,,I feel your pain.

I rode offshore last winter 9 miles to do some sheephead fishing in a 21 Contender and on the way back it turned to sh!t. The capt is a guy I know who beg me to take him to some good sheephead #'s. He beat me to death on the ride back,,,,I seriously thought about ***** slapping him at the dock. I told him to learn how to drive that boat and use the trim tabs.

I have been impressed so far, and I can say I have pushed it pretty hard since last summer. I think if I had trim tabs I would be really impressed. The V does rattle pretty good in a chop.

Why are you selling them?...were they installed?...

As far as Lenco electrics vs Bennet hydraulics?...I like my Bennets just fine...they operate great...

A good friend has Lenco's on his Everglades and his work great, too!!...

I guess it's gonna boil down to personal experience w/electrical vs hydraulics...both are PROVEN systems...

And phatdaddy...get a tube of 4200 (small tube will do it) and fill each hole before the final run-in of each screw...and before installation, run a solid bead around the contact face of the attachment bracket...you won't have any problems after that...
