New here!
 

Hello everyone,
Been lurking for quite sometime. Reading and gathering all the info I could on the V 20. Big thanks to all the contributors to the forum. Lots of info here that is very very helpful.

I purchased a 1987 V 20 about 1 week ago after looking at 5 different V 20's. The boats isn't perfect but it's in pretty good shape. The floors and transom are solid (no flex and no water when removing screws from transom). The steering needs attention either cable or helm unit.. not sure. The VHF turns on but needs an antenna so I'm not sure how well it works. The 2.6 liter 200 Yamaha check out ok (compression,lower unit, etc). The woodwork will have to sanded and sealed.

If it wasn't 26 degrees with a windchill about 17 degrees I would still be outside working/play on it. I spent the day building a frame and covering it up with tarps. Looks like old man winter is going to stick around for awhile.

Few pictures of the boat. She needs a good cleaning and a good coat of wax but it's a bit chilly for that right now.

Is this a factory transom seat?? I know it's sitting sideways but there is mounting points on the floor.

Thanks again to all that has shared the knowledge on this site!

Welcome....looks like a good one....yea we had an nice November but looks like this cold weather might be around a while. Dont know if that seat is factory but it looks NICE. Good luck with it.

Very nice, I am sure it will be ship shape by spring, welcome.
Where you located at? You should put it in your profile.
Just winterized my motor today, cold here in the Peoples Republic of NJ

Forgot to add that to my profile.
I'm in MA on the south coast.
Thanks for the kind words.

Sorry about the picture quality. I took the photos with my phone.

I guess I should have put that rear seat where the mounts are before I took the pictures. I'll take some pictures of the mounting brackets in the cockpit floor.

welcome aboard, we love lots of pictures keep em coming . btw nice v:sly::sly::sly::sly::sly::sly:

welcome aboard!! I live in Wareham and go out of Fairheaven most of the time, we will have to hook up next spring.

Congrats on the nice boat:clap: Welcome to the site

Looks very nice to me. Wellcraft did offer those rear bench seats at one point, so it may be factory original.
Good to see some more MA guys coming out of the wood work.

Very nice looking V and very nice frame you built for it.

inaforty; Let's see some pics of the Rosborough sometime. Hard to make it out in your avatar.:sun:
