Not that it would make a lot of difference price wise probably, but it looks to be an 86 or 87 , not an 89.

86 and up were all the same until the v21. 86 was the changeover to the raised decks and such.

I'm not disagreeing. Theres a difference between what he can get whole vs parted out. Like I said, the v-20 isnt helping resale.

"86 and up were all the same until the v21. 86 was the changeover to the raised decks and such."

The 89 and 90 models have the acrylic door to the cuddy cabin that slides into the bulkhead. This boat has the teak doors like my 87. Also the dash is different. I can attest to that because I have had a 90 and 87 model and there are slight differences.

Also the splash well on the 86 and 87 extended into the cabin and it did not on the 89 and 90. With the 89 and 90's there was a fair chance of having a plastic fuel tank which made it more desirable to me. That was one reason I went from the 87 to a V-21, because if I had to replace the fuel tank in the 87, I would have had to cut the floor in addition to removing the hatch in the floor.

I'm pretty sure the change (new cap/self-bailing deck) happened in 83. Definitly by 84 since mine has it.

I have the exact same teak door/trim and same helm.
The boot stripe is different than mine. It doesn't have "V20" in the stripe, which I thought was on an 89. Later they put Wellcraft in the stripe.
It has metal rub rail, not black rubber with rope. Don't know when that happened?
It has a glass box under the passenger seat, I think that was an option even back to 83

My 91 has an acrylic door and a plastic tank. However my 87 had full access to the gas tank with a hatch.

And my 84 had the low deck like they started in 78 that drained to the bilge. Also were talking a 30 year old boat, decals get changex, doors get changed, all kinds of things get changed to how the owner wants them to be.

Well........if I can get $ 250,000 for my 96' V21, he sure can get $ 23,000.

Ok, ok, so mine is the highly sought after last year of the V's, but that's why it sells for a little more.
