1981 v20 with a 1983 johnson

[bcraigan]

I just purchased my first v20. I say first because i'm sure it won't be the last. What a boat! I didn't realize how big they were till we arrived to pick it up. It has already had the transom redone, but needs a new floor bad. I've been reading posts on the floor and i'm sure i'll have a few questions but what a great boat! Can't wait to get it on the water and put some fish in it. Gonna try to post some pics. Look foward to getting to know everyone here. Also, i'm in Westville, SC right outside of Columbia. Craigan.

when you are in photobucket, scroll over the picture you want to copy....four items come up below the pic with the last one being IMG CODE, left click on it , ( a little yellow box will pop that says "image copied". then go back to your post and left click where you want the pic to be and then right click to bring up shortcut menu and then left click on "paste"

(edited to correct my left and right clicks)

now hurry up!!!



and I know what you mean by the size of the boat....we moved up from an 18' bow rider (actually 17 1/2') and the first thing people who come over to the house and see the boat on the trailer say is "woah, this is like a real boat". I think its how wide the bow flair is at the front that makes it look so big on the trailer.....

Congrats craigan. You picked one of the most worthwhile boats to restore. Anything you need help with someone here has done it and has it documented and can point out things to watch for.

[bcraigan]

Thanks again fellas. I have big plans for this boat. Hope it looks as good as yall's boats when it's done. Wish i'd found these boats years ago.
