Hostile, I really like the looks of the 20.5 and the 22. The long deck on the 22 looks bitchin. I talked to Jim last year about possibly building one, but he didn't get back with me. How does yours handle. It's got a pad bottom doesn't it ? How much motor have you got ?

Hostile, how about responding to the questions I asked about your Cole SS 20.5 V-drive, earlier. I would like to know how the pad bottom handles at higher speeds and how it rides compared to a straight vee bottom, also if you think it would be as fast or faster than a straight vee. Do you have any pictures you could post?

Sorry bout the long pause been out of town,had to go to that Mexican state of Texas.The 20.5
has a pad,on mine the pad is aluminium[sp bad]
this hull seems to almost take a set like a flat
but turns and rides like a deep V.The HP to speed
seems like 500-550 gets you 75-85 mph[the HP is a
guess]
