Welcome Aboard, and good luck with your boat. I cant help much with the newer models but im sure others will chime on in. Ive heard nothing but good stuff about the newer models,they should have worked out any problems by 92. Mine is 30 years old and all I found wrong was they didnt seal up the cutout in the transom for the outdrive. They must have had a good design, they made the v20 for a long time. Theyre proven to be strong and very seaworthy boats, with a ride second to none!
