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.
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

This is a awesome hull for bad water. I fish and dive off of mine. I agree with the flare causing water up and over in higher winds and big seas ( I cross the columbia river bar, graveyard of the pacific,up to 30 times a year, swell up to 12 feet with 3 foot seas.) I have addressed this well with the enclosure(Picture below) and it works great for the diving and keeping the wind and seas off of you. I have a 200HO E-Tec on mine--works well with the heavy loads of diving gear for 2 or 3 dives a day. I have had some real nice boats over the years and I am very happy with my 88 V-20. I regularly run 50+ miles off of the washington coast for fishing and have no worries about the boat and her performance--could use some more fuel storage though.

Welcome to the site!! These are execptionally great boats! Mine is a 1977 cuddy and I absolutely love it. I gave 1000.00$ for it and knew it needed work. I had to rebuild the transom, stringers, bulkheads, engine (170 Mercuriser inboard ), gimble and outdrive but now have the boat I've always wanted! Its in the Gallery, check it out. Ive added alot of stuff since the pics,(seats, GPS, cd player and speakers, new WELLCRAFT stickers and some other stuff. I need to get the camera out and take some more pics sometime! Buy yourself one and Ill bet you'll never be sorry. Good Luck!
