Re: has anyone ever picked up the deck on a v20
 

Skool, does the floor have to come up that much?? Seems like a lot. I was thinking the floor might have to go up as far as the bottom of where the saddle tanks sit, but I don't think that is 6". I might rethink my belly tank idea. :'( Then again, I was thinking I'd be happy with a fourty gallon tank. Maybe I wont have to go up as far... :-/h

hold on i'll go measure my floor to bottom of hull to see how high it needs to be off the center bottom of boat.

Re: has anyone ever picked up the deck on a v20
 

ok my floor measures from the bottom center of the boat to the bottom of the deck 16 inches. If i were you i'd raise it 2 inches over that to 18 inches. do you want pics of where i measures and all or does this make since.

Makes sense to me! I'm just glad we aren't still talk'n 6". I just measured the top of my floor and 2" is about 1/2" below the flat surface where the saddle tanks sat so going by your measurements it looks like I can stick to plan A ;D. Thanks Skools!

Pics are still cool, though. Do you have the whole floor out?

Re: has anyone ever picked up the deck on a v20
 

no my floor was good. i measured in the rear floor storage holes. yeah i wasn't positive on how low it was in the older models but yeah rasie it up and you will have a deck drain boat. i'd personally go 18 inches from center bottom of the boat to the underside of the floor.
