If ya going with duals I would go 72". I have a 72" bottom and it is Super stable for bowfishing even with 4 guys all rushing to one side of the boat to get a shot. After some mods to my little 29GTR I can run 25 with 3 people.

For a pure bow fishing rig go with the 72. I have the 60 and it's fine but the boat will rock when everybody is jumping around.

if its only gonna be used for bow fishing . i would get 20 x 72 with twin gatortails

U might hit up UncleJ since he just built one Maybe u could do brown paint and call it the turdle.... especially if you put gtrs on it

72 bottom with 12" catwalks!

Terry if it is 72 bottom make it 72 in the stern, mid section & in the bow maximize your deck space.

if you have the coin I would say 72... but you can fish plenty of people on a smaller boat also... my current rig is a 18 x 52 with a 9ft flush deck for fishing with a large hatch door... its perfect for 4 guys fishing but we can fish 6 no problem... you wouldn't be able to fish in some places like we do with a 72in boat but for lake fishing I would go with a 72 and a fan troller...

i have been thinkin of building a very similar boat. How much performance difference would there be between 60" and 72" on a 20' boat? i dont run in pure mud hardly ever. Sure the water gets skinny ever now and then but I would be more concerned with speed in open water

Here a big boat.
