79 don't, 78 does ?? Maybe they were undecided??

I thought they said it was 78 they started?? But I can say for sure 75 does not and all 80 + does

Re: Cheap V-20 project
 

Could be it was offered as an option?

Re: Cheap V-20 project
 

Dam, I was hoping my 78 didn't have foam,
I have to pull the tank this year and clean it really good. >:(

Re: Cheap V-20 project
 

that 79 should have it unless someone has taken the floor out at some point and removed the foam and never replaced ???

Ok... I've been lurking for a quite a while but it's time to jump in. Don't own a V-20 but I have seen a few up close. (They are few and far between here in Northen California.) Thanks to you guys and this section of the forum "V-20" and "Wellcraft" have become nearly forbidden words at my house... for now. This year we get a new car for the lady. Next year you guys are going to help me track down the V-20 of my dreams. (I figure you owe me this cuz my addiction is mostly your fault.) I am still salivating over "Old School". Would have snapped that up from Willy if the timing was better.

Now to my question: Did the addition of flotation and the change in deck height coincide with the self bailing feature?

CORRECTION: My 79 has foam around the gas tank, however this is the only location where there is foam and I would find it hard to believe that this little bit of foam would provide any substantial bouyancy if needed.

Re: Cheap V-20 project
 

Yep...good observation...deck has to be above water-line in order to "self-bail" w/ out pumps, etc...


Good luck in your search for V-20 when you're ready...you're doin' the right thing by keepin' an eye here...some very nice "Vs" for sale go thru here...I'd have a yard full of 'em if I could

MULV:

OUR'S DONT HAVE FOAM, HOWEVER THE BUNK BEDS ARE HOLOW PLUS THE ANCHOR HOLDING SPACE ((IF YOU HAVE AN O RING HATCH) WOULD MAKE ANOTHER FLOTATION AREA.
