BS,
Paid for an '88 V20 outboard model just last week and am going to get it tomorrow ! Needless to say, I am full of eagerness to bring it home, restore, and go boating/fishing this summer.

ps .... any comments on the following. I have a hankering for a full stern configuration. Would it be silly of me to entertain the idea of "closing in" the transom notch somehow and hanging a bracket ??? Would appreciate hearing what experienced V20 owners think of this.

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

Iv'e owned my 76' V-20 cuddy almost 2 years.

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

2 days... Just bought a "75 v20 cuddy w/ 200 Hp merc. Engine Compression tests were all 124 except for 1 at 122... Spent a long time researching similar boats before I settled on a V20.... I love it ;D ;D But some wits say that 2 best days in a boat owners life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it.

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

Phil...I love those wits...they keep the market supplied w/used boats and they don't clutter up our waterways w/people who shouldn't be there to begin with... ;)

Brain...if your pockets can stand it and you want a full transom, then I say, "FILLER UP!"... ;D

Been luvin' my '74 cuddy since '99... 8)

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

I agree with you on the wits... been owning boats for many many years. I am lookin forward to fishin in the C-bay this spring.

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

Never been on THE bay, but sounds like you got the boat to do it... :D

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

79' one year and it is still a "project",not a boat. ;D

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

"Owned" her 5 years, but I operated her since '91 (she belonged to a construction company I work for and from whom I acquired her). I have much history with my boat, and hope to make a lot more. 8)

'81 Cuddy / 200 Mariner OB. *Actually my 20 is my first boat and only had her since Oct. of last year. *She had been sitting for over a year and I'm in the process of getting your back into shape. *

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

'87 Steplift...Four and a half months...Still in "lust" and I haven't even driven her yet. 8) If this friggin' snow wouldn't have such bad timing, she'd be in the shop getting ready for spring.

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

5 years now...sometimes I walk to the window and look out at it...

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

I look out at it every day in this weather!! And then I cry :'(

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

'91 V-20 cuddy with a 150 Yamaha 2-stroke. Have only owned it for 5 months. Have owned 5 other larger boats over the last 35 years. Last boat was a 31' Pacemaker. The V-20 will be a much more managable boat for me; both financially and work/maintanance wise. Back when I owned larger boats, I always noticed the Wellcraft V-20 and was intrieged by it. I always thought of the V-20 as a "little bigboat".

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

four years on first (85 steplift) and one year on current 86 steplift.

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

You're a real man Maco...I couldn't admit to the crying part... :'(

1983 V20 steplif cuddy cabin with a 305 v8 volvo penta
about 5 years

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

84 V20 cuddy, bought it in 91, repowered in 95 (150 Mariner) I,ve had his boat for 14 years. I sold a 21 hydrasport cc and bought this boat when my daughter was born(needed the cuddy for naps and diaper bags). I thought I,d keep it till she was 3 or 4, then go back to a center console. Time flies, especially when you buy on credit.

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

1972 V20 - owned (and not operated) 5 months. Haven't driven it yet, but gettin ready for a paint job. Hoping to have the boat completely ready by Easter! Bought the Garmin 250 DF over the weekend! Can't wait to paint so I can install everything!

Re: How long have you owned your v20?

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

1986 V-20 Cuddy with a 200 Black anchor..oops, I mean Black Max. Foe an a86 Black Max, she running pretty good. Had her for only 7 months. As a yougster, in the early 80's, I was a motorhead. Loved racing my cars in Philly on Front Street and J.F.k. Blvd. I loved my Pontiac G.T.O.'s, I had a 64 convertable, 67 hard top and a 70 hardtop. I compare my V-20 to my past Goats, I consider my V-20 a muscle boat that turns heads.
Ahhh, the good old days...cheap gas and long hair ;D ;D

Re: How long have you owned your v20?
 

Yo BLU,
My 67 Goat had a 428 as well. Great motor unitl I spun the bearing. The 389 was a well known motor for spinning bearing. Mis miss my Goats. I cant believe the cost of them now on E-Bay. I sold them for pennies. Junk yard Goats go for a furtune.
