I have joined the family

[FishThis]

It will be one week ago tomorrow that we brought her home. I love my V20. With her beautiful lines, raked bow and shaggin cabin.

Just wanted to drop in and say whats up. Found this site with a google search and have been burning my eyes out researching old threads and weeding out my newbie questions.

Lots of good stuff, gonna have to attack that gas tank issue soon and found lots of good stuff on that (BIG THANKS). Even found a link to craigslist of the add and boat some one posted.

It needed a good bath so we spent last weekend cleaning her up just going over it in general. She needs some TLC but is fully operational and ready to fish
This Sunday is hopefully gonna be the day me and the girl splash her and she how she does. It is a big upgrade from the 17ft Mckee.


Thanks for all the info. Hope to contribute something myself.

Welcome to the fold. Congrats on your "new" boat.

Let me be the first to say, how bout some pics.

and let me just state for the record, nobody here is better looking than me.

welcome.

what size?

[tsubaki]

Welcome to the site.
And what they all said, pictures, motor etc.

[FishThis]

Thanks for the welcome.

I will get some pics up as soon as I can, I have been focused on getting her cleaned up.
It is a 1984 hull with a 1994 175 mercury. It was in Wilmington NC, I found it on craigslist.

Overall the boat is in great shape, except the gas tank issue, and the fact someone put the cheap stainless pieces on the boat so most of that stuff has to be replaced.

Gotta get to work, pics to come

Welcome aboard, don't be shy, just jump in and start posting.

Everyone supports each other on this board, even though it may look like some
pretty mean fights going on,
we are just like big kids.
One minute mortal enemies and the next minute best buddies.

Welcome to the site, as the owner operator of this site beware of me!! LOL

As for Tuna, he is gay so beware, Chumbucket is a ball buster, so ignore him like the plaque!!

There are a few others, but you will learn as you go!!
Have a good time!

I don't believe it! Show us.:bsflag:












Oh boy. Everyone's gonna be pissed at me now. :fight:

[Blue_Runner]

Stink - I thought that dingleberry got pulled out when it became entangled in your thong while you were in a hurry to squat and pee? I may be thinking of the wrong dingleberry, if so my apologies.


Welcome FishThis!

[Stinky_Hooker]

I try and replenish them daily.

Pro tip of the day:

Bream love dingleberrys.

[chumbucket]

Boy. This thread took a turn for the worse wouldn't you say? :you::zip:

[Stinky_Hooker]

Pro tip of the day:

Bream love dingleberrys.


Been there, done that. In my experience the Charmin created dingleberrys stay on the hook better than Angel Soft.

Thanks that is all.

[Blue_Runner]

Whoa there Stink, I gotta respectfully disagree with you on that. While Charmin does stay on the hook better, angel soft creates a chum slick of small dingleberry particles, which we all know bream can't resist. To them it looks just like bread crumbs.

I challenge you to a fish off. You use Charmin DB's and I'll use Angelsoft DB's and we'll see which is better.

Gentlemen may I proudly present:

The first annual 2008 DingleBerry Bream Tournament (winner takes all)

[Pipe_Dream]

Boy. This thread took a turn for the worse wouldn't you say?
I'll say -- y'all probably scared FishThis off!

Welcome, Fish . . . if you're still around.

[Blue_Runner]

Better to let FishThis know up front than find out about the wierdo's later.
:sun:

[Stinky_Hooker]

Actually...Im full of bull cause I wouldnt touch EITHER of em. I use Scott and only Scott cause it dont tear up and make berrys. Nothing worse than taking a shower and turn around and theres a freakin snowman standing there....ewwwwww

[TunaHead]

[chumbucket]

That looks pretty nice.:clap:

[willy]

Very nice Fish, in your exitement to replace and update etc. don't forget the overiding principle. Use the h@ll out of it, fish play explore, take super models for rides watch sunsets aboard etc. etc.
Makes the paying and working on it go down much nicer.:beer:

[reelapeelin]

Welcome aboard, Fish...looks like a nice V ya got there...what are your plans?...full restore or just lots of updates(that's basically all I did)...either way, like Willy said...don't forget to put 'er in the water every now and then:sun:

[genesis08]

Hi Matt,I used to live in Va Beach but moved back to Ireland and brought my V20 with me.We might catct up sometime.
Regards Brian........

[C YENSEN]

welcome aboard :beer: many happy boating days ahead I hope:clap:

thanks for posting pics

[Blue_Runner]

Looks like a nice one FishThis!

Don't bottom paint that bottom unless you plan on slipping her. Around here we like clean bottom! Right Stinky?
