I am debating whether I can justify the cost ($2000) of switching. I realize the benefits of prop changes, rough water adjustability and holeshot in shallow water. I only get to Florida 2x a year where the shallow water issue arises. Don't fish tournaments either so if too rough I find something else to do. I am curious if anyone that switched from manual to hyd on the V20 experienced any other benefits in handling, overall holeshot or something I have not considered. Otherwise, I can spend the money on rods and reels (or maybe re-powering with the new 8 cylinder).
