Trey will find you a great N20 at the right price. However, you need to know what you want before going down this route. Do you really want a N20? AKA, do you have more than 340lbs to put on the wire? That is why undecided is joking about pant size!
If you have less weight or are marginal, as a N20 owner I will recommend you seriously look at a newer F18 (Infusion or Capricorn), or if you are more budget strapped (less than 10k), a Hobie Tiger (preferably with newer sails). You cannot keep the N20 flat downwind in a blow, or reach in 15kts+ with much less than 360lbs. Its not really a weight thing per say, it's a spinnaker shape issue, but more weight fixes the problem.
