Re: Second attempt
 

I think I figured it out.

Front picture of my $400.00 "extreme makeover" project V20

Re: Second attempt
 

That aint no V. Scorpion maybe, but not a V.

Re: Second attempt
 

You're kidding right.

Re: Second attempt
 

I see you are from New bern. Go by Tyndall Marine and ask Keith what it is.

Re: Second attempt
 

Well, no. The front deck on my cuddy is flat, yours is peaked. I have been known to be wrong before, but I'm pretty darn sure that ain't a V. The Scorpion is almost a carbon copy, the hull anyway, but the caps are slightly different. Theres are peaked on the front deck.

Re: Second attempt
 

Re: Second attempt
 

Look on the transom, starboard side, hull ID should start with WEL. If not, it aint no Wellcraft.

Re: Second attempt
 

Hmmm, I'm confused now.

Re: Second attempt
 

Of course I have looked at the hull ID # and it is a Wellcraft.

I know you post here alot and not to be rude, but you should now your V's better.

Re: Second attempt
 

OK, you got me all confuzzled. I see in your other post where you whacked that silly step off the cap. Now I'm certain mine is different on the bow deck. But it ain't in the yard for me to look at. So, I stand corrected, sorry bro.

Either way, nice buy for $400. Git 'r done. I won't be in New Bern for long, I hope. I'm moving just as soon as I get my house sold.

Re: Second attempt
 

Like I said, I've been know to be wrong before. Don't go getting all blown up like a pufferfish. Sheeze.

Re: Second attempt
 

No problem, I was just knew it was a V. Have a good night :) :) :)

Re: Second attempt
 

yeah fray the really old V's had that front on their cap's

Re: Second attempt
 

Thats correct. MJ's has the same thing and built a spacer when he built his pulpit. Thats a nice V, what only two pics. We want more !!. >:(
What are your plans ??
Whats up with those go-cart tires on the trailer ?? ;D

Re: Second attempt
 

Looks like a Bracket project. We request more gossip and Pics. Now....please. ;D

Re: Second attempt
 

Hold the Bus here. Ive seen this V before. SKOOL found this on E-bay or at a local bracket shop. Aint that right SKOOL. ???

Re: Second attempt
 

Yea trailer is pretty sad,but it served its purpose and got the boat home.

Transom has been modified for bracket.

I removing the bottom paint now, loads of fun.

Re: Second attempt
 

Just busting a bit about the go-cart tires. LOl. ;D
So I guess the outdrive hole is sealed up on the outside. ??? Not be be a Ho, but more pics. Please.
Thats a great project boat. I love the enclosed transom.

Re: Second attempt
 

Yea I think Skools posted a pic of the boat. He was interested in a Parker the same guy was selling

Re: Second attempt
 

Heres a pic of her being stripped down. Also shows helm seat box I'm building.

Re: Second attempt
 

yeah i went on to that V before it was on ebay with Tyndall, it use to be in a yacht yard in Greenville NC and i had the guy down to $350 but decided to let it go. i was going to buy it for Stink so he could have the glass off it for his old V20.

Re: Second attempt
 

Hey Skools Tyndall still has that Parker. He wants $1000.00 for it. Boy it is rough. It was in the water during a NC hurricane and a piling went thru the hull.

Re: Second attempt
 

You been busy. Looking good. That seat box is nice looking. Wood over glass ?
Your turning into a real pic. Ho. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Re: Second attempt
 

Yep fiberglass over wood. Lid is fiberglassed plywood trim with mahoganey. Mounting a 48 qt cooler (w/ the lid removed) inside flush with the top so all you see when you open it will be the inside of the cooler.

Here the box before glassing.

Oops!!!!

Re: Second attempt
 

Thats some fine wood work. Those box seats are hard to come by. How will you mont it to the floor ?

Re: Second attempt
 

H-88, you need to get a gallary for your V. ;)

Re: Second attempt
 

Mount two cleats (ie resin coated 2x4s) to the floor with screws and 5200. The box will fit over them and screw into them from the sides.

Re: Second attempt
 

Smart Work. ;)

Re: Second attempt
 

How long you have it for...just a few months I figure.

Re: Second attempt
 

I've only had it for 10 days.

I started the seat boxes before I got the boat home.

Had a pro do the transom before it came home.

Re: Second attempt
 

You have a bracket lined up yet for her. Full bracket with platform ??

Re: Second attempt
 

Nice looking box! Do those get a cut out so you have storage under them?

Re: Second attempt
 

No bracket lined up. Dreaming of one w/ swim platform.

Boxes will have lids w/ built-in coolers.

Re: Second attempt
 

Thats a per 79 V20mthey all had the lip on the edge, don't let him mess with you! ;)

Re: Second attempt
 

I got all goofed up cuz he whacked the step off behind the windsheild and I didn't know the front decks were different on the older V's. I shoulda recognized that the gunnel caps didn't have the goofy raised rib on it that the Scorpions have. Like I said, my bad, sorry to get somebody's hackles up.

Now on to new bidness, that box is awesome! Pretty work.

Re: Second attempt
 

Nothing exciting to report on now. Still removing 30 years worth of bottom paint. I've got one side stripped down to the gel coat.

Re: Second attempt
 

Whatcha stripping with and how's the technique working out for ya? I'm going to do the same.
