I ran across a Donzi cabin boat a while back(not a walk around, it was an I/O) that was for sale, i tried to talk Ridge Runner into buying it. It was a beast of an hull. Seems like it was a cross over from the hydra sports when OMC owned them boat. Looked to be one heck of a boat. Center consoles bring far more money on average than cuddys, don't ask me why. Centers use up a lot of space in the boat, unless you plan on fishing off the bow, I'd rather have a cuddy and the extra room. Speaking of Hydra sports, thats anoterh choice to look at, I know some one down here that has a cuddy hyrda sport fixer upper that can be bought right. I also forgot, look hard at Pursuits/Tierra/Slick Crafts they made some awesome boats and have glass stringers(no rot to worry about)

I am trying to only look at boats that have limited wood in the hulls.

What motor is on this boat?

good motor, Proline used to use a lot of wood in their boats, not sure on that year, but 80's thru early 90's had plenty of wood

Sailfish, or Regulator. I really want the 23 Sailfish and twin 200's. Hull sides in Orange. 9' beam and VDR hull that the Seacraft bunch creams their pants over.. They are a big freakin hull. Not sure of the quality, but I likes the looks of the hull.

1995 is when they went woodless according to the internet.

Forgot about the sail Fish as well. The early Sailfish were direct copies of SeaCrafts, they got the right idea and made a larger beam version of the hull while seacraft missed the boat and still made the traditional narrow beam

That's a late Fichte aka 1st gen brp built engine. Not bad engines and got the best economy of any engine built IMO. Still wouldn't have one.

They started in 94 with the fist technology which was the wordless design.

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?
