Hello Everyone,
Links below to the 1974 (thought it was a '75) now in my driveway. Things to comment on: Overall beauty (don't look too close); The peach of a trailer (prolly worth more than the boat); The closeups of the deck where it's showing cracks and signs of age (too much Botox?); Game: Guess the location of the hidden cassette player; I'm open to suggestions on seating, and your favorite hatch covers.
She passes the transom test with flying colors: not a pop nor a peep, and I weigh two-hunnert pounds.
Whatta y'all do with the canvas and the canvas frame when you're not using it?
I think I'll have to add a hatch or two in order to either re-seat the loose pedestal or just inspect. Favorite hatch solutions welcome. I've been reading ALL through this site for a week or two now, and remain impressed with the cameraderie, the solid info, the humor (more pranks!), and everyone's willingness to be helpful, 'specially you seniors and gods.

Dave's nold V-20:love::

with some work she will be fine!! Mine was also a 75 and it was a great boat for 9 years.
The cracks in the corners of the boxes are normal, I had them also, even after filling them and painting the floor the came back. I think if you grind them out and use resin with shredded cloth (use to be called tiger Hair) it would make for a much better fix. But I sold mine and never tried it.
Also looks like some one did some work on the rear gunnles to make them wider? I like it.

Good Luck

Sweet deal on a sweet boat with lots of potential. Do yourself a favor though and take those red reflectors off the stern.:sun::beer:

I like it!

Only trouble I see is that your blue throw cushions clash with the blue/green canvas.
