Re: Hello all
 

WOW,

Thanks to all who gave me this warm welcome! I got the boat home ok and now I am doing little things like, new trailer lights, cleaning & primping, you all know the routine I'm sure.

It does have the red & blue stripes and on a big blue V-20 decal on the sides. I know some of you asked and the V is powered with a 175 HP Johnson. It came with a cool bimini top (stand up with front windows and side curtains) and also he gave me another blue mooring cover that snaps along the windshield and snaps down the sides. Also he threw in a porta potti, bumpers,flares, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

When I arrived home last night my wife and two daughters were climbing all over it checking it out, and they approve!!!!! I know when I send pictures to my son in England he is going to flip. Our old boat was only a 15 footer and he & I had so much fun with that boat. I do miss my son dearly and cannot wait for his safe return so he and I can pick up where we left off 18 months ago. So as you can tell I am like a kid right now and still in awe over my baby. I did take some pictures but my wife will have to do her magic and install them online because I am computer stupid. HAHAHA. So please all bear with me for the pictures and I promise as soon as she installs them for me I will add them to the V-20 Gallery.

Also today my UPS driver stopped by and he informed me he has a V also! I asked him if he belonged to this site and he said yes, but I cannot remember his screen name. Anyway, thanks again to the very warm welcome here and I am so very proud to be part of this family.

Pictures coming soon...
