I had a 20 x 36 and it was way too narrow. I would never own another boat that narrow, it looked like a log with a motor on the back. I agree though that the 20 foot will get up better in shallow water. I have a buddy with a 20 x 42 and he runs a bone stock tohatsu 40 and with a hunting load it will run 29 to 30. I wouldn't plan on taking those long tunnels out on any lakes though, that same buddy almost sunk his boat on Toledo because a thunderstorm popped up and he swamped it on the way in. I can't speak for the southforks, but the alwelds had such short sides. I assumed all the long tunnels were like this to cut down on weight.
