Rough Waters
When people have asked before, how a V20 handles rough waters I could never answer because I had never been out in really rough water. Today I can tell you personaly she handles it great! Started out today in 2-3 footers. Cousin had to come with us because his 16' aluminum would make it. The weatherman was wrong rather than dying down the winds picked up. Came back in with 4 -6 ft seas. Nothing life threatening happened just took it slow and the V20 handled them well. What a Hull! Bill Mc ;D

Re: Rough Waters
4 to 6 footers are plenty big enough! I'd rather not be out in anything bigger in my V-20. Glad to hear that you did well, and now you know firsthand what a great hull you have!

Re: Rough Waters
my son Charlie and I went out yesterday around noon, as we get closer to the ramp, Charlie notices the current is really burying the 5MPH can. He says "dadda the bouy is drowning".The tide was on the flood, had a WSW about15,and just had a full moon so it was a bit snotty in the channel. We're getting the boat off the trailer and another guy had just pulled up. He looks at me and Charlie [5 yrs. old] and says",you heading out?, it nasty out there".I thought to myself it's nasty if you're in a 19ft. Renken bowrider.I did say thanks for the warning,but, in this hull I've got no worries.Don't know what the guy was talking about, it was nothing more than a lite chop or at least it only felt like it
