Nice looking boat!! I might try making a cover like that to!!
What you make it out of??

Re: 89 V20 pictures
 

Just a cheap tarp. You know the ones you you can find cheap just about anywhere in blue. West Marine had them in white on sale last year. I originally planned to cover the entire cockpit area but was concerned that boarding would be difficult. When I saw reelappeelin's boat in the gallery I decided to duplicate his cover. This covers the part of the boat I'm most concerned with and still allows easy access to the boat. I have another larger tarp I cover the entire boat with for winter storage. I aligned the snaps to the existing snaps on the windshield frame and hull. I can post more detailed pictures if you want to try to duplicate mine.

Re: 89 V20 pictures
 

did the tarp come with snaps?? or did you put them on your self?? I have all the snaps on my windshield already also.
did you cut the tarp to size??

Very nice looking boat! Bill Mc ;D

Re: 89 V20 pictures
 

Cool Boat!!

Re: 89 V20 pictures
 

What you see there is a part of a 10 x 20 tarp. I cut it, hemmed it (don't tell my wife I know how to use the sewing machine ), and then put the snaps on to match the exisiting snaps on the boat. Took me about 6 hours total.

Hey Rick...sweet V you got there...is that an old Coke-style bottle opener on the port dash?... 8)...

Glad the cover idea worked for you...yours looks GREAT... ;) ;D...

Rick...could you let me know the measurement of the transom from inside the boat to outside the transom on that boat?...measuring fiberglass from just behind the back seat to rub-rail on back of transom...thanks... :)...

Hey, MJ...check out hatch sliders on Rick's boat...look like they extend farther forward than our old buckets... :)...

Re: 89 V20 pictures
 

Yup, that is a bottle opener. Not Coke though, Corona. ;D

The measurements across the transom vary. On the starboard side along the outer edge of the cutting board it's 21" straight back from behind the seat to the back of the boat not including the rub rail. On the centerline the same measurement increases to 23.5".

Re: 89 V20 pictures
 

yues I see that! They only need to be just long anough to get the hatch opened all the way.

I guess he will havbe to mesure to see what leanth he will need

Re: 89 V20 pictures
 

Coronas...go ahead, bro... 8) ;D...

So transom is nearly 2' front to back...plenty room for bait tank I'm thinkin' about...w/ built-in cooler on other side... :)...Thanks, Rick and good to have you on the board... ;)...

Re: 89 V20 pictures
 

I no how to use the machine!! And my wife no's it :(

you sewed the blue tarp? I did not think possible. Thats easy part. adding snaps are not to hard, and my snaps on my windshield frame move to were you need them, so that easy to!

I like this to keep the dash clean and it is a certain amount of security. I no that it will not keep anyone out!! BVut what they no see they no want!! Keeps honest people honest!

Re: 89 V20 pictures
 

I never thought to ask if it was possible or not, just did it.

Re: 89 V20 pictures
 

Hey Rick,
She looks really pretty. Did you widen your transom or did they make them wider in 1989 than my old boats? I notice your deck hatches are different too.

And I'm curious about your photos... something looks really familiar where you've got her tied up (one house in the background in particular). Is that on the Severn or South Rivers?

I'll keep an eye out for you on the water.

Hey Jester,
I believe my boat, including the transom, is in it's original configuration with just one major exception. The lounge seat on the portside was already gone when I got the boat. In fact there was no seat there at all. Met a guy at the dock one day who said he was throwing away 2 pedastal seats from another Wellcraft that matched the original helm seat on my boat. I went to his house and took one out of the back of his truck before he went to the dump. Also, your close, I'm on the Magothy River
