OK, I just bought a '01 2520 w/VolvoPenta 5.7 & Duoprop. Found a newer brochure from the factory in it talking about Deep V or Modified V. Big differences in specs.
Only options in the list were Yami OB's and there was quite a difference in the power recommendations. The Deep V would take up to 500 HP but the Mod only 350.
Why? What is the advantage (other than draft) of the Modified hull? Deadrise 14 degrees Mod. vs. 21 degrees deep, so the rough water capabilities would go to the Deep V. I guess the Modified is designed as more of a bay boat, better stability in swells? What?
I'm guessing mine is the deep, with the IO.?
Enlighten me please.
