Randleman, I don't know what you're looking to spend, or what they cost for that matter, but Dusky sells factory direct and will custom build your boat with the options you want, and nothing you don't want. You can even change the lay up schedule. Probably will cost more, but you would get exactly what you want.

I keep seeing that blue contender on craigslist. With the euro transom and the big console in the middle of the deck I think you'll find your V20 has a lot more room for fishing. Ever thought about a Wellcraft 248 Offshore?

Sea Fox is built about 10 miles from my house. Its teh same family that brought you Renken Boats. They were very cheap and under built to begin with, but I'll have to say they've brought the quality up quite a bit(and price). They started out with some splashed hulls and new decks, A few years ago, they got serious and hired some real designers and came out with a whole new lien up of boats. They used to sell against trophy and Sea Pro, now they market them against Key West and Sea Hunt. Personally, they have a bad reputation that honestly they may not deserve. I wouldn't own an older one, the new ones are very nice. If you search on the hull truth, you'll get all kinds of horror stories about them

I don't have any experience with Sea Fox, but something I've noticed is they seem to stretch the boats length for marketing reasons. Alot of this includes cap molded bow pulpits and euro transoms. If you look at one from the side, the actual running surface from where the keel starts to curve up towards the bow to the back edge of the euro transom seems small for the overall length of the boat. Something with a "23" foot hull length ends up having less room than some 18 footers.
Although these days many manufacturers are guilty of this. I wouldn't be interested in a newer Wellcraft either.
