Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Thats nice too!! But wow did you see how close the motors are to each other!

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Run SS wood screws into small Starboard blocks under the windshield... ;)...

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

MJ, here's a beauty and not far from you...

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Great find Air! Now, that's the real deal there.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Sure is!! I am working on making my own T Bolts right now for the windshield install.

Hope to have done today? and paint tomorrow, Like to have the boat up for sale Monday.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

They aint all that close to each other, a 10' beam makes em look close to each other. They say you can put a set of V-8 CHEVY's in without changing the spaceing.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

I'd run the current motors until dead and maybe think about redoing the transom and installing a single yanmar with a duo-prop outdrive. Those old bertrams when redone right fetch a bunch of money.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

There is a bunch of different things being done with the 25 BERT. There is quite a few running around with single outboards, and a couple that have been redone with single straight inboards and a tunnel drive. There is even one guy redoing one with a DETROIT 6V-71 as a straight inboard. There regarded very highly as being EXTREMELY sea-worthy 2nd only to the 31 BERT in that size range.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Well the free Formula is gone as is the Tirica :'(

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

I found a real gem for ya MJ, price might be a slight issue though(and your tow vehicle :o). Guarantee you it will ride better than a V-20 though.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

That is a great boat therm!! Wow I have never wanted to sell my boat so bad!! ;)

I was in my buddys 21 Contender 200 hp Yamaha CC yesterday and talk about comfy!!

But after yesterday, and being so comfy, I still want a cuddy, I just don't like the CC But wow what a ride!!

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

What about a Grady?

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Thats great boat!!

Anyone want to buy my V??

There are so many boats out there I am missing vause a small thing like money!! :'(

CB found me a great deal today also!! :'(

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

i think MJ is abusing his power by posting his boat and making it stay on top all the time *;D why didn't mine get to stay on top *>:(

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Unless you are the lead dog the view never changes?

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Cause you never answered my pm!! :P

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

(Back from a fire in Montana and wore completely out...)

MJ: You have 5 foot disease. My Pops has it too. I finally convinced him to jump ahead a few boats. He's going from a 341 Meridian to a 54' Egg Harbor. I think you should do the same. 17.5' beam and 64,000lb displacement should make for a nice blue water ride! ;D

Good luck with your search!

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Fire, is he gonna let you have the Meridian or are you just gonna sneak away in the egg when he ain't lookin? ;D

I'm happy for him! Sounds awesome!

MJ - Move down here to NC and buy me an Egg!

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Blue: haha, Way too poor for that!!!! I told him I would buy a tender for the Egg, it's all I could afford!! The new boat has a 1000 gal tank to feed the twin blown 8 cylinder diesels - I won't be taking it out much for that kind of fuel cost. I'm thinking of it as a sort of floating cottage for me and my girlfriend to escape to. 8)

Pops loves to fish so we'll be taking several-day trips to the Stream with it. Gotta love the Pops.

Can't wait....

MJ, sorry for the hi-jack but you really should buy a much larger boat if that's where you are headed eventually. Hey, you can't take it with you!! Or you could convince your parents/friends to buy a larger boat and use it as much as possible! ;)

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Cool Fire, I'd love to see some pics of MJ's....er uh...yer dad's new ride once he gets it :D

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Hey MJ, up for a nice long road trip ;D. This one here would fit the bill for ya.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Thats alot of boat for the cash!!

Fire this it. I not going bigger then this 25 footer is the max, but really looking for something 20 nto 23 with a great ride ;)

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

It would be nice if you could find one of these closer to ya, fit's the bill for every request you've got(except price).

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Please, quit posting that dam boat before I do something that my accountant will regret ;D It's only 90 minutes away and ....

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

My bad, forgot that it had already been mentioned. Still looking though. I think this is more fun than shopping for myself, or maybe not. I've just about talked myself into goin and looking at that RENKEN :o.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

that Renken is alot of boat for the price, but at the end of the day.....it's still a Renken. That SeaCraft is awesome....that's my next "trailer able" boat.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

I had a friend that beat the $HIT out of a RENKEN 2488 with an I/O. That boat NEVER left him stranded. He had taken it out in stuff that would make people in 40' sportfish's would turn back. I couldn't tell you how many times he took that boat out in stuff so rough you could hear the outdrive come out of the water on every wave idleing, or how much airtime it had on it without FAA aproval. After what I seen him put that boat through, I'd stack up against any other in it's size range. May not have been the best ride in a heavy sea, but it got the job done.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

i had a Renken it was a POS lol I took a sawzall and put it the trash

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Damm SKOOL, your straight to the Point on your feelings with Renkins. LOL. *;D ;D ;D

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

MJ,

Has this one already been brought to your attention?:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/WellC...QQcmdZViewItem

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Yes it has but thanks any way!

I have to sell mine first, I should have it ready Mon for the For Sale zone, I will have on Crigs list, here and at my house to start then go from there.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Those 23 seacrafts are great riding boats! As are the 23 Formula's. Very sea worthy.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

Here's another good canidate in your price range that will do everything you need. They also made them in a flybridge model and as a regular cuddy like the V. The hull design is based off of the very popular 25 BERTRAM.

Re: MJ's V20 is going up for sale!
 

That is a sweet boat, would be great for the Wind Talker, fianlly get him in a Ford ;D Power plant wise anyhow.
All kidding aside they have a big following supposed to be great fishing hulls. Lot of commercial users had them and still do around here.
