    One look at the DS 20, and there can be no doubt that this is a cruising design that was meant to provide maximum interior space. As a result, this boat has a somewhat boxy-looking appearance. However, owners report that the DS 20 is a well built boat with a surprising amount of storage room down below and an impressive 4' 10" (1.47m) of headroom in the cabin. Some of these boats were built with a shoal draft fixed keel, while others had a swing keel arrangement. This boat often comes on a trailer.
