General opinions for V20

[Airslot]

IMO the V-20 is perfect for your planned activities. *It's the SUV of boats if you would. *As for the ocean part, its a very capable boat. *My family doesn't enjoy (yet) the ocean in the V-20. * I will fish it offshore in winds under 15. *There are a few of us on here who do the ocean striper gig. *I fish the MD/VA coast year round. *BlueRunner take his to OI a few times during the striper run, so yes, the boat will do that as well.

There will be times when you wish for 3 more feet, but I think that is true of any house, car, boat when the family is involved. ;D

I'd start my search for mid 80's and newer just because of the self bailing issue. *I won't go into the I/o vs OB thing.

Good luck, welcome to the site, and get a digi cam 'cause these guys love pics. ;D
