New to the V20 group

[i4110peter]

I'm so happy to find others who enjoy the classic V20 and to find this sight. I've owned my 1973 V20 Steplift for 32 years. I love it's lines and have had a lot of great times with it. I have rebuilt the inline 6 as well as replaced the engine mounting base floor. I will post some pics soon. I hope to benefit from all of your knowledge.

32 years! That's tremendous. Looking forward to some pics, and more stories about the history of your V.

Welcome!

WELCOME Pete !!!
If you have owned this V20 for so many years, perhaps we will benefit from your knowledge too.

Hi and hello... Allow me to add my "welcome to the site" to everyone elses salutations. Is your inline 6 the old Ford engine? Long ago I had a 73' also, and the inline 6 that was in it was a Ford. Underpowered for my tastes, but super reliable. :beer:

welcome to the site, 32 years is a pretty good testimonial. i've had mine 19 years and thought that was a long time.

I hope that the picture of the stern shows up on this post. In answer to the question about the inline 6, it is a Chevy 165 hp. Very common block which I had to replace due to cracks. It's bored out and powers the V20 very well. Love the dual 20 gallon tanks as well. makes for a lot of run time. Thanks again to all. More pictures coming.

Welcome to the Cult.

Love those old ones that someone has taken care of. You can probably contribute as much knowledge as you gain.

Such an easy motor to work on.

I just joined tonight, last month a friend of mine gave me his 1987 V20 Fisherman 200HP Yam. Runs like a top and here seems to be the place for owners of these fine craft.
