The vega hull doesn't look anything like the V 20 not even close, the V is a far more better looking hull.

The advertisement here (https://books.google.com/books?id=sE...page&q&f=false) shows the V-30 was a 150% scale V-20.

It also mentions Alim has contracted Glasspar to build the boats.

Here is a review of the V-18. Not sure if it is the same as the later Wellcraft 18 center console, but it looks close.

I attached a few Alim advertisements I found also.

Here is some more:


Bottom of the page says Wellcraft introduced the V-20 in 1968, so that is four years after Alim had Glasspar start producing the design.
https://books.google.com/books?id=pB...lcraft&f=false


This ad claims Ray Hunt designed the hull. And that your wife will go fishing with you now.

Perhaps if you spent years offshore racing, your spine is compressed enough that you would fit?
