I haven't ridden in a BERTRAM 20, but they are one SERIOUSLY DEEP V hull. The V-20 is a 20 degree deadrise hull at the stern, the BERTRAM 20 is 25 and some versions of it are said to be 28 degrees. They need alot of HP to push them because of the deep V with most having a V-8 inboard in them or a LARGE outboard. And being 20 feet with that deep of a V, I imagine it would rock like no tommorrow in a drift. I've read that even at anchor they can whip you around if there is much of a sea. In all honesty they are 2 completely different classes of boats. The V-20 is more of a practical all around hull VS the BERTRAM 20 with it's extrem deep V.

I know it was one of the 20 footers had the ridiculous 28 degree V to it. Could you imagine being in a drift with a following sea and a 28 degree V bottom.

Barron with the crazy dead rise was longer . . . I think 28 ft or so. The 20's were 24 or 25. I'm pretty sure. Hi liners are almost identical to the 20 Bertram. They are a later more refined hunt design . . . With 2 strakes instead or 3. Rumor has it that the conch 27 was a bigger version of the hiliner 222 hull with some tweaks.

Thumbs up

Bertram Barons came in 20, 24, and 28 foot lengths.

Conch 27s have 22.5 degrees.

That's a great deal on that Hiliner, Bigshrimpin'!

Love classic style V hulls!

I believe teh CONCH was built off of a FORMULA 233 copy with some SEACRAFT transom design with multi stage V bottom. It was a unique hull design from down in the keys. I haven't seen but one or two myself, but I know they were very popular guide boats in south Florida.

And the BERTRAM 20 BARROn is a DEEP V sucker.

Heres one running at speed. Look at how much of the V is out of the water.
