If you want a V-20 on steroids, look at the DUSKY 233. It is 3 inches wider, 3 feet longer, and just looks to be alot bigger boat in comparison. Of course you coudl also look at teh DUSKY 256 which is 3 inches wider than the 233, and 2 feet longer, but is still simliar in design to the V-20 with a moderate dead rise, and a big bow flare going on up front. Also the newer WELLCRAFT 23 footers(not the 228 or 230, but I think it's the 233) is a soft riding boat and can be pushed by moderate HP.

I'm pretty happy with the ride of my 99 22WA. Not sure if this is the model hull Ferm was referring to. The LOA is actually 23'2". The hull is a bit different than a v20. My first boat was a V 18 and I loved the ride. I moved up to a 21 Striper WA and I never liked the way it rode, impulse buy due to the wife wanting a cabin.

I am a big fan of the Dusky and Seacrafts, I will be searching hard this spring. As for the Coastal I owned a 91 236 coastal for 10 years, it was a good boat , but not a lot of room for 3 adults to fish ( 350 I/o ) . I once owned a 21 ft Regal Regency family fish. it was the roomiest 21 footer I have ever seen and had an incredible ride. Flush deck walkaround. I found one on craigslist in Jersey but it needs to much work. I am really trying to narrow this down though. A 23 Formula would also be pretty cool.

Smoke, yes they did come with outboards. my inboard outboard was actually the only one I ever saw on the 236 model .the thing that bothered me mostabout it was that with only 2 men on board we would be standing in an inch of water at the transom when fishing.I guess the deck was to low,
