Mac, it's those times that a top w/full enclosure comes in handy...even in a V20... :)...

Or at least side curtains. *I boat with them in the winter, because of the "cold" (not too cold here *8) *) and also because the winds usually kick up more in the winter. *They keep me nice and dry!

The slower you go, the more time the wind has to blow the water into the cockpit. Granted, you can only go so fast in 4 - 6, but I think if you could manage a bit more speed than 7mph, you wouldn't get quite as wet IMO.

Yall are killin me!!!! ::)

I still havent actually rode in a v20 yet. I bought mine because I had the 18 wellcraft and loved it. I knew from looking at the 20 that it would ride and handle rough water great, but I still dont know first hand. I also knew after getting beat up and soaked in the 18 I was DONE with center consoles. >:(


Someone help!! I wanna ride in a v20 before mine is finished. ;D

I did enquire about Franco's enclosure but at the time I was redoing our kitchen and the dollars were used there. You are right it would be nice. As far as the speed, my brother in law was driving and he did kick it up a notch, we still got wet. We were lucky it was a warm day. Stinky its a great ride wet or dry. Your going to love it!
