Yes emptys can be deleted or renamed. Just a pain to make them and then not having them used and stuff, any way this is the way it is for right now.

Terrim,

Sweet boat. I own an '82 and I never would have guessed yours is so close in age. My gas tank is located in the rear of the boat and yours apprears to be far forward. Did you replace the hatch to the rear of your gas tank and if so how did you do it? I would like to replace the small hatch in my deck that is forward of my tank.

Also what specific resorations have you done her?

thx

Bill

My 84 SEADRIVE has the tank way forward like that as well.

Re: 1983 V-20 Restored
 

Full transom boats, I/O's and Seadrives, had the tank forward. Outboards had the tank rearward. Presumably this was done for weight distribution.

Yep yep yep!!

What did I do to restore this boat?

Replaced motor (100 hrs old)
New outdrive
New paint job
New interior
New trailer (23ft aluminum)
New gages
some electrical work
vinyl lettering

There is not much more you can do to a boat, but if I keep it I would replace the shifter.
