Dan, I don't like the older 20' Sut and a new one is too much $$.
My budget will be the $$ I get if/when I sell my Velocity. We've talked about owning two boats and it really does not make sence for us.
Yes, a 16' Donzi would be too small and the 18' would also be on the small side.
An 18-22 foot old school V bottom that can handle some rough water, as well as pull a skier now and then, is what I'll be looking for. I/O for sure, small or big block does not matter.
Thanks for the input everyone...

Pat,
If you have to have an I/O, you'll loose some space in your desired length. I think an open bow might be in order!
Maybe a 1992 Hallett 210 with a full 8' beam ........?
Or if you want rumble seat front with true 24 degree V a 1995 CalCool short deck, only one ever built ........?
That Howard is down to $12,500. But it will be gone is 60 seconds!
