Looky what I found!

I was searching the net for radar arch stuff and stumbled along this V-20. I really like that set up of that one posted the other day with the bimini atached to it.

Y'all are gettin me excited. I got to thinkin this morning that for not much more money, I could have someone build me a pilot house. I've got a buddy who has a 21 parker that started life as a W/A and was turned into a Sport Cabin. Hmmmmmmm..

Nice shicks ;D

Slot, whatcha waitin on? DO IT!

The more I think about it I am leanin more and more towards a radar arch on mine. I was gonna go full top, but the more I think about it, an arch with a small bimini would be more versatile really. You could go topless if you wanted and the major advantages of a full top (rod holders & overhead lights for night fishing IMHO) are still present. An arch may get in the way a little less for fishing as well. Also, on most days I fish it is nice enough weather for a V20 to handle with no danger of getting wet. I can also still do curtains on the front of the bimini if I want. Either way I will be fabricating and building it myself so we will see. 8)


Plus, we all like topless right? ;D

Make the arch removeable Stink ;)

...and make me one too while yer at it. You can build mine first for practice ;D

[Stinky_Hooker]

Good idea, Ill think on that one. ;)

[Airslot]

Folding arch, maybe, removable probaly won't work. If your gonna mount light, antenna's, or possibly radar you'll have too many wires running through it.

[Stinky_Hooker]

So true AS. i have no reason to take it off anyways. I will have an antenna and lights on it too. I will need them. 8)

[Blue_Runner]

You could add conectors under the gunwhale for the wires so you could unhook them when you remove the arch. But, like stink said, if you don't have a need to remove it, that would be a waste of time. For me, I've explained my reasons before for removeability :)

[Stinky_Hooker]

For me, I've explained my reasons before for removeability *:)


Yeah, but that still doesnt justify that surgery you got!! ;D


JK ;)

[Airslot]

When I do it I'll post plenty of pics. It's just a matter of time. Thinking of selling my 16' skiff and just doing it. I can't get out enough to justify keeping two boats anyway.
Hope to get some more ideas at the OC boat show next week.

Hey, as I've told you before - I had that done so Mrs. Stink would have something to play with while you were out fishing 8)

JK ;) ;D

[Blue_Runner]

How much for the skiff Slot? Flatbottom, semi-v? CC? Brand? Motor? Trailer?

I wouldn't mind having one (but I don't need one).

[sweet life]

Do you know who makes a radar arch that fits on the 1988 v20 hull. That would be an awesome addition to the hull.

[bradford]

Sweet life, look under the links section, there is a thread started by Tsubaki about a company called Boykin Marine.

Also that thread isn't freakin' GAY like this one. Sorry you had to witness all that bro! www.BoykinMarine.com (http://www.BoykinMarine.com)
