The next time someone says these are wet running boats, show them that video... Not a single drop of water came over the bow... Now I know, the seas were semi-flat, but even so, that was at speed and there were a few sets in there that lifted the boat and set it back down roughly...and no water came in or over... I rest my case.

It is a dry boat...as long as there is no wind.
With the right wind, the boat is extremely wet. I have hit this wind a few times.

Stuffed bow into a wave
I've always considered my V to be a pretty dry ride under most conditions, but a few weeks
ago while entering barnegat inlet from the ocean, running with the waves under rough conditions, I ran over the top of one wave, and stuffed the bow into the back of the next wave in front of me sending a sheet of water over the windshield drenching everyone on board. It was an intense moment, but I did not feel out of control or in danger. It was just one of those querky things that can happen. But in the future, I'm going to slow down a little under those conditions.

When I was on the USCG Tamoroa, a 210 foot "sea tug", I do remember sea's that caused the bow to go under water. Pretty cool to watch from the flying bridge (I was just a seaman on watch) Yea, if there was anyone on deck, being wet would be the least of their problems... I still stand by my comments. My experience is that the V20's send so much water up and away that the water too easily catches the wind and sprays right back at you. Perhaps I just catch this wind\wave combination more than others. rkc
