Just purchased my V20 Steplift a month or so ago.  What a pleasure.  I am a converted small Jon boat owner and got this ride for Lake Erie in Pa.  It is an I/O with a Mericrusier 228 and 9.9 kicker.  It came with an autopilot, electric downriggers and all the guy's Walleye fishing tackle.  I can get it to 35mph on the GPS. (is that good/bad).  This board was the deciding factor in me buying the rig.  Seems like everyone who has one is in love with it.  I have had it out 3 times in 3-4 foot waves and stayed high and dry.  Looking forward to sharing experiences and talking with you folks.  As soon as I figure out how to insert some photos, I will.:sun:

cgord, you made a great choice, IMHO the V20 is a best in class. I have owned mine for 73 OB cuddy for 24 years now and have never fallen out of love with it. It seems you got the whole pkg. Although I have not been on in a while, this is the best site for all info and things V20, and a reeeelly great bunch of guys too.. (I need to suck up a bit...) :beer:

You made a fine choice for the Lake Erie chop.  As  you know, it is a tough chop to deal with sometimes given the shallow waters.  You just seem to get a different wave pattern than you do in the ocean.  I think your V will handle Erie admirably.  Good luck, have fun, and welcome to the site.

cg the V20 is a great boat for lake Erie. I fish the western basin and it has been good to me for 4 years. I bought from a guy in loraign(sp) Ohio so the boat has always been on Lake Erie. This is the best site for info on anything about your V20. Welcome aboard! Billy Mac :beer:
