B-Stealth, the wider bottomed boats prolly got up on plane faster, but when I was looking for a longer boat, that is all I could find. I bought it in the early 90's.
And I wanted a commercial rated boat. It had a thicker hull, more floatation and more ribs. Plus the transom was braced a little stronger. It had 2 braces between the ribs and the top of the transom.
The bad things about it was it didn't have a big casting deck and it was narrow. But at 20 ft., it had plenty of room.
