1988 V20 in Southern MD?
 

Been watching this V float around on the Southern MD CL page for quite some time now. Does anyone here have any knowledge of this particular boat?

Seems like it may be a descent buy if it just needs a starter.

Thanks.

Hey Brian , I haven't seen the boat but I have seen the CL ad for a long time. Was even posted on here I believe. Did you sell the Formula?

Brian

I could have sworn I've seen it here before, but who knows.

Yeah, the Formula is gone. :-( My wife wasn't keen on having two completely broken boats at the house. I guess I should update my sig.

I think it floated it's last on CL. The posting has been removed.

I have seen it before on CL. I imagine we will see it again.

I noticed that too. It's been reposted though.

So both you guys are named Brian?

Just wondering,

Brian

yep both Brian, I saw that so maryland v-20 on CL again yesterday. I have a fwc 7.4 liter just sitting here waiting for a new home....hmmmm

Brisn....(my euro trash name for use in venues with to many Brians present)

To Grady Brian if your Wife doesn't mind a new project I have a 23 Robalo cc here can be sold with or without mid 90'sYamaha 200hp power either way cheap...

I tried to convince her that a CC would make a good "family boat". That didn't go over so well... ;-)

A 200 Yammy would be nice on that V though. I even have a brand new Armstrong bracket sitting in the basement. That was left over from the Formula project.

Ok take the bracket put it on this amf slickcraft add the 200 yammie and....your in!

Those Slickcrafts always look like tanks.

I'm thinking I may go and take a look.

Other than the standard things to look out for in a hull of this age (transom, stringers, floor, fuel tank), standard I/O things (riser/manifold and drive bellows) and things specific to the 470 (3" or 4" heat exchanger, charging system, water pump) is there anything I should be on the lookout for?

Thanks.

If Owner doesn't have hot battery, take one...check out the Trim & Tilt...that can be a real showstopper and big bucks on some drives(Volvo?)

Seems to be a non-issue. The owner didn't respond to either of my last two emails or the voicemail I left for him last weekend...

Maybe one of those, But Honey I'm TRYIN' to sell the boat...:bat:

Ha...been there, said that. :-)

It's a shame because I never seem to be able to find reasonably priced rigs close to home that have the wife's approval... :-/

Hey bro,

I am the one selling the boat. I am sorry that I havent been getting any of your calls but I am in the Navy and I have been out of town. But if you are still interested in the boat we can set something up for you to come out and check it out. Just like the ad states the starter is off right now and just needs a new one. I was thinking about putting the alternator conversion kit on it also. 2000 cash and it is yours. Let me know. I just dont have the time right now get it back running since I am out all the time.

Thanks,
Paul

No worries Paul. I'm looking at a Mako 228 right now. If that falls through, I may want to come take a look.

BTW - Thanks for your service! :clap:

Paul,

When are you available to show the boat?

Thanks.
