Great board for owners of a great boat. Recently purchased a 1991 V-20 cuddy w/ a 175 Merc. from a lady whose husband passed away. Boat is in great shape and seems to run ok. I would like to find some info on this boat. Where can I find an owner's manual or specs. I e-mailed Wellcraft but got no answer. I don't even know the fuel capacity. Thanks and looking forward to talking with you guys. I live in Virginia and fish the Chesapeake Bay. Happy Holidays

The fuel tank for your boat holds 60gallons.

Hi MJ

The I/O will survive another season, It is running good now and I'll take her out Wednesday if the weather holds. The big problem was the "shift cut out switch" what a crazy set up. After the last bill, I hope to run the boat next year and replace with a bracket and 4 stroke O/B. I'm hoping the 4 stroke will be a good compromise in Outboards...by the way, what did you do with the spece where the engine was...I was thinking of either closing it in and having a large open deck, or putting in a bait/cleaning station with tackle storage...

Brian, I live in Warsaw and fish either out of Reedville or Smith Point. Fishing this fall and winter has not been much in the middle bay as you well know.

Well i thought I was going to close it up but have decided to leave it there.
The engin cover is a gret bait cleaning station and a nice place to lean and jig from.
As for the hole i put a 25 gal tank in there to now give me 65 gal. This will come in handy for the long runs I do from time to time. And now I will be able to get 3 runs out to the Fluke grounds without having to get gas.
I also keep a small bait well in there for storage. I take it out when i grab some live for Bass fishing.
I am pretty happy with the set at the moment. But as fishing changes so will the boat.
