73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 99%
 

Well she is finally ready to recieve her motor!! It's been a long haul-but worth every hour of hard labor. (green tape on the helm and stern is for the installer to cut holes for tack and rigging tube). I will paint the hull in the fall. I can't stand to wait any longer...she's gotta get wet! here's the photo link

I'm a big fan of the "Clean" look. If you could put hide-away electronics on it that would be cool! If there is such a thing :-/

Buddy of mine has a tach and a key on his CC. Thats the extent of his "electronics". But boy does it look awesome!

I will have a tach a key and the bilge switch you see under the wheel.

Yea, the electronics- where to hide them...hummm?

I am putting the gas guage under the helm on a bracket...I have the batteries under the helm also. I also put the 44 gallon fuel tank under the forword deck. I might even put a hawse pipe through the stern gunnel sides and the cleats under it.

On the Fly that is a tremendous amount of work, that is going to be one sweet V when you are done. What engine are you putting on the bracket

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

Very nice work! *I've always wondered if the stringers are attached in any way to the transom, other than fiber glass? *It is clean looking boat. *Get it wet!! *Billy Mac *;D

Boy that looks fantastic. Gave me some ideas on how to proceed with mine. Hey where'd you put to gas tank, and get that console. I like it!!!

Willy I have a Johnson 05 leftover 140 4 stroke waiting in Delaware (it's really a Suzuki with a Johnson case)

Regidog- I have pictures of where and how I mounted it forword under the deck. you can see the filler cap on my step deck . I will post them here if you like.

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

Please, that seems like a good place to move it. I want to change out the console on mine but really could not decide what to do with the tank. Also, what paint did you use on the floor, looks nice.

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

Its a gelcoat my glass guy mixed up special.

That console is a custom one I found still in the mold, nice and small!! I will post the picture tomorrow for ya.

WoW! Looks great! Nice job :o :o :o

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

that is one cute little console, but looks like you will have to hunch to steer.

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

OTF,


I don't like it, it's to clean, shiney and there's not any cracks in it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Just kidding of course.






THAT MUTHER IS SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!
AS A A MATTER OF FACT THAT RIG IS SWEEDISH (AKA...SWEET AS $HIT).

Me Likey, very nice work.

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

looks great

;D

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

OTF, really liking the boat. That is the model V20 I would resto if I was going to. Only thing I may have done dofferent for me is get rid of the raised fore deck and make the deck 1 level. It would lose some storage but I like the extra gunnel height castin in the slop.

Are you going to add pop/pull up lights and cleats?

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

I bought some popup cleats and did'nt realize they came without backing plates I will most likely put some temporary cheapos there till I manufacture the backing plates. I might opt for hawse pipes through the gunnel deck-to a cleat under the gunnel in the stern.

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

That would really look great!

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

Actually Charlie...it's quite nice, For slip and canal manuvering it's ideal in that position for my height---heck she will track so nice on the ocean I don't plan on steering!!! ;D ;D

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

otf, the first time I saw your boat it was upside down and 3/4 submerged.....look what you've got now. I really like it, great job!

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

Very nice work. You are an inspiration.

Re: 73 V-20- bracket installed total restoration 9
 

OTF..Man!! what a great job!!...she didn't look THAT good fresh outta the factory 8) ... console is PERFECT; enought to get the job done and leave plenty of room...keep the pictures comin'...can't get enough of that thang...good work... ;) ;D 8)...
