The only other boat of this size I ever spent time on was our 2120 Sport cabin Parker. The Parker was built better (however significantly more $$$) but the ride in the V 20 is with out a doubt much better. Trying to find a 20 foot boat that rides better for the $$$ you spend on a V 20 would be very hard to do.

Don't know what type of use you will have for a boat, but there is no doubt that they are roomy, solid fishing machines. I, however, use mine on relatively small inland wakes in Indiana and it makes a great family boat. Used to put the kids down in the cuddy with the hatch open and a windfunnel for a nap. It does great pulling skiers and water toys. The clean, open cockpit is a breeze to clean out when kids track in sand and mud on their feet. And even though using it on small inland lakes where I do not get true ocean chop, we do get insane chop coming from all directions on weekends with so many go fast boats and wakeboarders (man, can a wakeboard boat kick up a wicked wake!) Been on all kinds of boats in these inland lakes and none has handled it as well as my v20 cuddy does.

"Momma always said life is like a box of chocolates". Great boats! I have owned mine since brandy new 1989. But as in any boat or mistress, pull out the wallet and let them take what they want or you will never get to where you want to go.

BG. you realize your asking a bunch of v 20 fanatics for their opinion of their favorite toys, so i'll add my thoughts.
they remind me of taking your moms station wagon to the prom, not the fastest or shiniest(except lumber's) or coolest, but definately the one that will get the job done & you home.

And, like Mom's station wagon, has plenty of room for the fun stuff. Cuddy version is a lot like the wagon's back seat!

BG, we all love our V's. Take a look around at the photo gallery, then look at the price and quality of new or newer boats similar to the V (if there is such a boat!). Finally, follow the classifieds on this forum and go get yourself one. I am certain will will not find a better boat for the money.

Enjoy the adventure!
