V-20 Hull?
 

Hi All,

I am new here and been helping my buddy find his first boat. Hes really interested in picking up a V-20 cc. Came across this: http://hartford.craigslist.org/boa/3861794866.html

Doesnt look like a v-20 hull to me, but my research says that Wellcraft didnt make any other cc in 1991. Dont want to waste a trip to see a boat hes not interested in.

Any ideas if this is a V-20 Hull?

TIA for any input!

looks like a 18 footer to me

thats what i was thinking, but the hull even on the 18ft looks more aggressive in all the pictures that i saw. i've been skeptical its even a Wellcraft.

will know for sure tomorrow between the HIN, CG Plate, and tape measure.

If anyone has anymore insight/expertise, please help me out =)

Thanks again!

Doesn't look like a Wellcraft or a V-20

feeling slightly less crazy now :sun:

i've looked at every cc for sale in the northeast in the past month and i have no idea what this thing is

oh and the graphics need to go :bat:

the bottom paint plays tricks on your eyes. I don't know what brand of boat it is, the forward deck looks a lot like a 18 Wellcraft, the rest of the boat looks a lot like a Key West. Not a bad looking boat

bowrail looks like a hydrosport

1989 18ft Wellcraft. Took us about 45 seconds to thank the guy for his time and leave. Original power. No thanks...

Thanks for all the input on this!

If it's been maintained there's nothing wrong with original power or a boat that's built in 89. Hell, around here, some people think an 89 is "like new".

But obviously, an 18 is not what you're looking for, and $7500 is (to me) the high side on price. Still, take away those horrid graphics and it's not a bad looking boat.

Good luck with your continuing search. Keep us posted on your progress and don't be a stranger.

I agree with you completely that the 89, if maintained, possibly rebuilt could be a dependable motor and a decent purchase. However if youre advertising a 91 20 Wellcraft and i get there and its a 89 18 Wellcraft, my faith in the motor's 'maitenence' is beyond questioned.

Will not be a stranger, really hoping to find a v-20 soon!

Totally agree with you on the questionable maintenance.

Here's a good looking boat on Craigslist in NJ you might be interested in. Looks good and it's new wires tells me the owner takes care of it. And it's $2000 cheaper than the 18' footer.

looks like a good deal. boat looks clean. looking at helm shot tru the windshield at the two platforms i would guess the boat to be a 1979. its set up like my old v20 it was a 79.

I agree w/the daydreamer...nice lookin' CC...I'd do that over that overpriced 18 in a heartbeat...:party:

Its really funny you should post this boat because viewing it is on the agenda for the weekend already! We've been in contact with the guy, only issue has been getting down there on a weekday.

Looks very clean and obviiously updated so were hopeful that there is not rot etc to worry about.

Thanks everyone for looking. 20-23 CC are hard to come by right now!
