I've owned a 620 and now a 520

620 deep V- more room for the family, safer for the kids, waves will not come up on the deck, better area for net, can get a full windshield which is nice in the fall or rain.
Some cons- less storage, heavier, slower if that matters but not much slower.
I liked the 620 a lot deep V, just doesn't suit my fishing as much anymore.

520 bass boat- faster, lighter easier towing, more storage, all deck, shallow draft,
Net storage sucks, you also don't want to just toss a bait on the floor or deck everything needs to be put away before taking off or it will fly out of the boat.

As for waves and the ride. I think my 520 rides better in waves, there's no plowing. The bass boat at least a 20-21 foot boat blow right over the top of them. You just ride the tops. I'm talking waves up to 3 footers. Waves over 3 feet high..screw that. They suck in any boat. I'm not a Great Lakes guy but I've been in nasty crap on leech and Mille Lacs, in the big stuff in both boats. If your a good driver both boats are just fine.
