It's a V20 Thing, you wouldn't understand!

No really, welcome to the site!
You got too many questions at once (at least for me, Blue did good).
Look at the Gallery/History/Catalogs http://www.wellcraftv20.com/gallery/history
About everything is in there, do forum searches for more specific stuff.
Personally I like the Cuddies over the CC,s.
These boats basically do everything you want except for flats fishing. For some people they are just too big or too small.

anthro, i have a 84 cuddy and also dive out of it. i had a 19 mako & 21 hydro-sport before and like the wellcraft best. if your usually with four divers, i would recommend a 200 hp. i like the cuddy for diving over the center console because of the room in the rear and the storage for tanks. i put 5 in the well in the cuddy & 3 in the indeck fish box. i would also recommend a model that is self bailing(deck bails overboard, not to bilge), you might have to look up to the mid 80's to find that feature.

good luck with your quest..

The V20 just rides so very well. Look at the bow flare on it and you will see that you will stay dry most of the time. I have a cuddy, but do not dive (I live in freakin' Indianapolis, IN), but I would have to think that the cuddy would provide you with tons of room in which to store your and your buddies' dive gear. My cuddy is a 1991 model which is self bailing. I agree with Phat that you should look for that. It is a great feature to have other than the occasional burp of water up through the drains. Heck though, that occasional burp just helps to clean up the decks!

one warning in a head wind and rough seas they are the wettest ride on the water due to the flare they throw the water out in front of the hull then the wind will whip it up into the boat.

My V-20 rides as good or better than my old Grady-White 25 Sailfish, and uses 1/5 the gas.

Nothing a full enclosure can't handle...

to me its just a perfect boat for fishing,,, just the right size of course i would like a bigger boat but the bigger boats dont have enough more room to justify me selling my baby plus its just a great looking boat. I have a 1978 model and own it for 12 years now and when i go down to go fishing i still look at her and love the way it looks, great lines, but thats me
