Your mission, should you decide to accept it, Mr Bigshrimpin' is to pilot your V20 into enemy territory and return w/all the cold beer and hot women you craft can unsafely haul... :o ;) ;D

That would be one awesome mission!!!

;D

anyhoo - The significance of this piece of information . . . is that the v20 was around before April 1961.

44 + years old

"Decision for Disaster" by Grayston Lynch

Just copying . . . . the source for our records from Lilabner.

Looks like a cuddie on right and a side console on left...appears motors are spaced differently on the two boats...wonder if ea boat had a specific, but different mission or if they were tryin' to decide which worked best...

Betcha they added fuel capacity beyond twin 20 gal saddles...

They chose the right boat... ;) :D

Lilabner says that the boat on the right is a powercat and the side mount console on the left is a v20
