Just over a year now. V-20 with 150 rude.Upgrade this winter to raised transom with bracket. Who has done this and did you install fish box in back or go for the added floor space?

Got my '85 cuddy I/O for my birthday July 8, '05 (not running). Replaced fuel line and filter, put it in the water, it started right up, but outdrive wouldn't go down. Got real busy and it sat for a while.

It s/b ready in a week or so, with head machined, new valve seat, all new hoses, outdrive rebuild (had that done by others), un-frozen hydraulic rams (so the outdrive will go up and down now).

Hope to catch some Salmon out of it starting in a couple of weeks and I'm really looking forward to it.

First time was a 1974 V20 cuddy bought in 1976 and sold in 1978.
Second time was the purchase of a 1986 V20 cuddy bought December 2003, plus a newly used 2004 200 Yamaha bought earlier this year.

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
