I run an 01 175 trophy and I am overall very happy with my boat. From what i can see on the newer rigs the overall design/shape of the hull hasn't really changed all that much over the years. My bro runs a '17 165 competitor tiller and he really likes it. I believe the 2xb really helped stiffen up their hull, which your 20ft competitor will certainly have, and that helps with overall ride in weather/waves. I have been in pre 2xb (late 90's) hulls and there is a difference as those hulls will flex a bit more. case in point, my buddies late 90's 185 trophy will drop the center windscreen through if he hits a wave hard enough. I have never had it happen in my boat, and i've been in some tough stuff, without issue.

Layouts are usually subjective as everybody fishes differently, but as far as the construction goes, i have been very happy with my rig.

Good luck.
