Here She Is. Home At Last.

[msbhammer]

Finally brought my baby home today. Pretty happy with her. I bought the side curtains used from another member here from his V-21. The curtains were six inches to long all the way around. So he had to do some cutting and resewing of zippers and snaps. Plus install new zippers that were alreay on my top. It could have been better if he did all the work from scratch, but he did a great job from what he had to go with. There are a few flaws, but it doesnt bother me in the least. So I'm finally a member of the V-20 Gods...Full enclosure team. *;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Next project, stain the teak. Pulpit, install a bracket...then sell it and by a Harley. *;D

Notice the curtains dont match the roof color. No big deal to me. Also impressed how with the enclosure on, it muffles the sound of the engine when inside the enclosure. No more yelling. ;D

I bought the V the 28th of December last year. She has come a long way since then. You guys have offered alot of help and humor. How about a team hug now. :-* :-*

It looks great Hammer, your gonna love it. I've had my curtains for 10 years and can't believe what a difference it makes. I'm in florida so I never had the back enclosed. If we are out and a squall hits, it is amazing how many buddies you can get under it. Great christmas present.

[reelapeelin]

Yep, that full enclosure QUIETENS things down a LOT!!...plus if your fishin' buddy ''cuts one'' you'll know about it pretty quick!! :P ...

[Franco]

And it'll keep you donuts dry!

[Airslot]

Lookin good Hammer.

Airslot

[msbhammer]

Dry Donuts. Oh Yeah !! ;D

[willy]

Make all the boys jealous of the enclosure ;)

Looks good HAMMER, I guess the pic that I took (below) was just a little too top heavy,
so they changed to the one in your pictures.

[msbhammer]

Thanks Willy, I'll grab Lisa this weekend and just the V-20 tee shirt and toss her in. ;D
Hey Chum, that enclosure on your old v-20. That extra top...just for off season. Not to damage teh top from snow and all ?

[msbhammer]

Par; , I love that pic. I emailed it to alot of my diving riends. They all got a kick out of it. *;D

So what kind of value is added with having a enclosure. ??? *At least another $500.00 to 600.00 *???

[msbhammer]

Hey Pablo, its almost X-Mas. Did I tell ya how I just love that rear seat of yours in your V. ;D ;D ;D ;D

[C YENSEN]

well i have been away from the board lately due to a couple of problems, but i wont get into that.

Hammer, looks great man, much better than if you would have taken my old worn out curtains.

Enjoy ;D

[Sean]

Wow, that is nice!!
I want one!!
If you dont mind me asking was the final bill $?$?$$$

[msbhammer]

Thanks CYENSEN.
Paid $200.00 for the curtains. $275.00 for the alterations, cutting, fitting, zippers, buttons, realigning the top, plus one case of beer. ;D

[Blue_Runner]

Hammer - good deal man! Heck of a nice job and sounds like the price was right! The rear curtain does do wonders on the engine noise.

Only thing I see wrong - and I think you can fix it - you might need to invest in some drapes for those anniversary cruises....you know, just you and Lisa. Otherwise, boats will be banging into each other as they pass by... ;D

Good job dude! I feel sure quite a few viewers are jealous right now.

[msbhammer]

Yo Blue, you been talking to my wifey. She said the same thing last night. ;D
;D ;D ;D

[Blue_Runner]

Matter of fact I... :-X

;D ;D ;D ;)

[Blue_Runner]

Hey MSB - one thing I just noticed, on those zippers that hold the back curtain in. If you have trouble with those staying zipped down you could do like one of my friends and fashion a lenghth of heavy mono with snap swivels on both ends. Then hook one to the zipper head and another to somewhere around that rear bimini mount. Holds his zippers down nicely. Mine has snaps instead of zippers on that part.

[msbhammer]

Thats a pretty good idea you got there Blue. Thanx. ;D

[Blue_Runner]

You are talking about the drapes, arent you? :D

[msbhammer]

No Curtains Blue, She's a voyer chick. She likes a crowd to watch. ;D ;D ;D ;D :o :o :o :o :o :o

[skpablo]

Hammer,

Looks great. I would love to get mine enclosed. I actually got a camper top and camper cover with the boat but no side curtains or wind screeen. Pis_ed me off. The guy forgot to tell me. >:(

Just got back from Christmas vacation up to CT. Passed by your area at about 2:00 this afternoon on #113. I had the seat with me to give to you too but the wife said she had to go to the ladies room so we had to hurry home ;D ;D ;D

[Airslot]

I'm going up today to go over the last few minor details concerning the rear drop. It will be done tonight but I probably won't have time to bring it home. :( I will snap a few pics. She'll be home for the New Year.
