Better yet, load em up this summer and head on over across the pond into Nassawadox Creek!

Damn! Why is it when I'm here nobody else is??!

Thanks Dave. I spoke with Matt yesterday and he seemed like a real stand up guy. The boat sounds structurally solid and the trailer seemed adequate as well. the only concern was the interior condition since he had no pictures of it and of course the brite green prop. lol. is there any way you could swing by and grab a pic or two of the cockpit area and give the boat a lookin over?

Sure, I'll grab the camera tomorrow and snap a few.........

I know Matt & his family very well....I did see a Wellcraft out by rt 13 for sale but didn't connect the dots until now...I just got off the phone with Matt so Fishnfetch if you want to pursue this one let me know....but I'm not taking any money.....................Ha! You guys forgot about me living here on the Shore...I thought at least ole Reel would tune in...must be oldtimers settin in!! Ha!

Reel was highly instrumental in me purchasing my pristine 21 down there in Spartenburg so now I get to return the favor to another member here....aint that what this site is all about??

Hey Dave...good call...you're truly one of the V20 Brothers...but then I knew that all along...maybe a little "old timers" on occasion, but not this time...

Ha! Yeah buddy.......I don't get on here as much as I would like but something was telling me to log on last night and then I read the post.......I knew I had to know who owned that boat.....D

DMOORE YOU ROCK!

Very cool....that explains the cowling. Didn't know if maybe the year model on the motor was a typo or somehting so this explains it. Chalk up another win for the V20(1) brotherhood! Here here...:beer:

Ok Andy here are your pics...........This V is solid throughout but will need some TLC to shine.....I removed the engine cowl so you could get a better idea of the motor condition...since outward appearance doesn't always tell the whole story rule number one when buying a used outboard motor would be to ask for a compression check...I don't know if this has been done but I believe Matt stated in the Craigslist ad that the compression was in fact good. There is some cracking of the gelcoat at the bow flare areas of which I documented,also a small area on the port aft gunnel where the gelcoat has worn thru, not a deal breaker by no means....like I said some TLC is needed like any fiberglass boat that is upwards of 32 years old....

Trailer is sized correctly for an outboard powered boat of this size & weight and has one year old axle installed..trailer tires look very road worthy with no apparent blemishes.

All the glass & windshield look to be in very good shape...I did not unfold the bimini top but what I did see appeared to be in good condition.

If I missed any areas that are of concern let me know and I will get those posted up. Dave
