Wow, I typed a long response to this thread yesterday and forgot to post it!

There are lots of boatbuilding folks up here in Jersey. Viking, Egg Harbor, Cavileer, Henriques, Post, Ocean Yachts, Topaz, Silverhawk (sold to topaz?) Pacemaker (defunct) Jersey, True World Marine (Moonies!!) etc etc. I believe the Old Pacemaker plant is used by independent manufacturers - I think Jersey Devil 36 used to be built there.

My suggestions for a new V-20 would be:

Make the hull a little "Taller" above the waterline. This way the decks can be higher which will allow for larger real scuppers that will drain overboard.

The layup of the hull should have no wood and have a heavy layup schedule. Blackfin -like. Heavy, solid wave smashing hull.

Big cleats, heavy bowrail, Hawsepipes in corners of transom.

The gunnels will have to be wider and overhang the cockpit.

Gasketed hatches with gutters wiith drains. Macerator for the fish box.

I like the older style hulls better in the looks department. (Although a carolina shear line would be cool!)

Oh wow, Man, I've done that...

That'd be great if we could keep older style (early 70s) and upgrade to taller sides and beefier gunwales...

Maybe we shoud thro $20.00 each in a pot and buy some lottery tickets 400 plus members times 20 bucks is $8,000.00 dollars worth of lottery tickets - couple of million dollars should get the project going strong

Re: 1980 Welcraft Retail Price List
 

I'm for it...need to lay down some guidelines, like 1st mil goes to boat then divide remainder equally among participants...which lottery?...do you wanna handle it?...if not, and nobody else, then I'll do it... ;)...

Great idea, Franco...it's a LONG shot, but it's A shot... :o...

I COULD DO IT NO PROBLEM, WE COULD DO THE FLORIDA LOTTERY HERE - BUY IT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, MAYBE A WHOLE YEAR OR SO

Re: 1980 Welcraft Retail Price List
 

Franco...I guess start a thread tellin' the guys what we wanna do...I'd suggest following Chesapeake's lead on t-shirt payment...post on board, then follow-up on PM...whatever winnings, if any, 1st priority is to the boat and overage is split equaly among donors...Florida Lottery...any other details?...

might wanna see how much actually comes in b4 deciding over how many weeks we buy...
