Why are the V 20's such a collectors boat?

[reelapeelin]

I believe the V-20 has such a broad appeal because of it's basic versatility...you can take one of these boats and alter it to be any kind of craft you want to suit your personal needs...the right size to be easily trailerable, plus CLASSIC boat lines and rough water handling...the flair on the V-20's bow is another attribute...I've busted some waves that had others with lesser boats hittin' the deck...LOL...

The availability and price range also make it a popular choice...over the years of production, it was configured so many ways...I/O, OB, Sea Drive, Cuddy, Center Console, Dual Console w/a bottom hull design that is as smooth as any 20'er out there(although as I've recently discovered, as w/any other boat, is greatly enhanced w/trim tabs).

All the above added up to a good value in a broad segment of the boat market...and those who appreciate what a good boat at a fair price can do for them have responded over the years...

I also believe this this V-20 forum Tim (Bigshrimpin) started so many years ago adds to the appeal...it's a great community of folks willing to help in any way they can and has even lead to some valuable friendships along the way...just like the V-20 itself, it's a comfortable place to be...
