Exactly, it's a personal preference. I think the width of the V-20 front deck is what lends itself to a tendency to "slap" the water on re-entry, but then again, that's subjective and completely my opinion. I also feel like they could remove some back deck on my 721 and I wouldn't be mad about it haha, but I guess Clouse and Co. had a reason for doing it, and if that's what makes it ride like a dream, then I'm all about it haha.
