Would a " new V " sell ?
If Wellcraft brought back the V as it was, but without wood construction and a few other updates, would it sell if priced competitively ?
Is there a market for this boat ? Maybe some other upgrades, tweeks to the hull ( ok, so a new mold with increased deadrise), revised cuddy slider, and designed to handle a 225 hp max rating. I say yes.

Probably, but cost would be an issue, and given the current "builders" thinking, it would probably have a Mediterranean style back which would completely ruin the style and cut down on the usable interior room. Still, it's an intriguing thought.

Maybe if they stretched the hull a little to make the cabin a little larger and offered it as a WA. I personally love the hull shape.

Probably would not sell!
But if I could play around with a new look, I would increase the V20 by two feet, keep the cuddy, remove the windshield, add a center console helm, add a tee top, and add two aft jump seats. And, if you know boats, yes I'm in the market for a 220 Shamrock Cuddy!

I think Striper80 nailed it. The guy I got mine from bought a Seaswirl Striper 23' WA after fishing the V20 in the California ocean for years and told me later that the 20.5' V was better in the ocean than the 23' Striper. The extra length and a little more beam and bigger cuddy would pretty much solve any problem I have with my V.
