Re: Fishing 4 bodies on a 20 footer
Just to add to this thread. My family had a 1978 20 master angler from 1978 to 1996. We used to fish offshore often and occasionally had four in the boat. No real big heavy guys and often one or two of the crew were teenagers. Three was the usual crew. Once we had eleven in the boat (approx. one-half were kids) for a short scalloping trip. The boat would barely plane. Our boat had extra five inches at the transom and a 175 merc that did not weigh as much as these newer motors. Transom height and engine weight are huge factors, of course; good luck buddy

Re: Fishing 4 bodies on a 20 footer
Steve-Great comment on the max # of people in your 20. I had 5 adults and 6 kids in my 18 down in the Keys for a brief moment. It planed with a 130 Yamaha-barely.

Re: Fishing 4 bodies on a 20 footer
I have an 18 ,and from what I gather off this site, has about the same capability of a 20. I think any more than 2 people on my boat is just to crowded to fish comfortably.
