208 Hulls

[Heyspike]

Is there a big difference between the old hulls and the newer sea v2 hulls on the 20 footers?

Heyspike: In my opinion, an emphatic yes. I bought a 1995 208 and traded it in ten years later. Very impressive boat for a 20'. Two friends have older 204s. One has a 225 on a bracket and its just too hard to keep the nose down. The other has a 150 on the transom and it takes a chop much better, but the newer, SV2 is takes it considerably better yet.

Thanks,
I had to scale down my purchase and I am now looking at 208's in the 10-15k range and this puts me into pre 1993 v2 huls.

Keep lookin' there are 20' SV2'S out there for not much more. Anyone you talk to will tell you the improved ride is so worth it.
