I was told the V20 became the 20 somewhere in the mid 80's and the hull form changed to increase the deadrise.
That is not quite right. The first generation Outrage 20 was called Outrage V20 initially and then just Outrage 20 up until 1985. The name change did not coincide with the change of hull.
Starting in 1986, the 20' hull was entirely new and essentially a shortened 22 foot hull.
