MJ has too many museum pieces in his yard already.

Where the FLOCK is Brentwood :head: ...

i don't believe there was ever a V20 before the 60's from any company!! And I would want proof before I would lay down a quarter!

Brentwood is out on Long Island. I sent the guy an email asking what he knows about the origin of the boat. Lets see what he says

He will not answer or the answer will be it is a 1968

Sent him this email:

"Saw your add for 1958 V-20. Do you have any history on the origin of the boat. I did not think anyone made a V20 earier than then 1960’s. Do you have any information as to the manufacturer? Are you sure its 1958?"

This was his repsons:
"I have the paper work for the boat it is a 1958 V20"


That's it....nothing else. People kill me....is that state registration paperwork, mfg paperwork ...WHAT?????? Maybe I pissed him off, I didnt think I came off like I was calling him a liar....oh well.

No, I cannot see that what you wrote would piss anyone off.

I knew of no mass produced deep V hulls before the 60's, except maybe a 24 footer that was described in a report of the "America's Cup Race" that it ran like no one had ever seen. It inspired the early Bertram. I thought Bertram ran the Miami to Nassau in one of the first "one off" deep V's in 61'. I'm sure it's an honest mistake but still think 58' is possibly a typo. I also believe 68' is reasonable, they had that low deckline in 1968 and until Wellcraft started mass producing them in 1970 with the same hull but a higher coaming under the windshield that we're more accustomed to.

that widsheild is not 68 more like he said 58
