Traded my jetski for a 1985 V20 Fisherman
 

Been reading on here for a while. This is my first post and from what I can see, you GOTTA post pics!

It's an 85 with an 85 Mercury 200hp. When I got it several months ago, it had a bunch of failures, including dead-no-start 7 miles out. I rewired EVERYTHING and now everything works. Also had to replace the helm last week.

This week I am redoing bottom paint and doing some gelcoat repairs. The next major thing is to replace the floor from the transom to the step-up in front of the console.

I have really gotten a lot out of being a lurker on here and I hope to start contributing very soon!

Welcome...Congrats on a nice looking boat!!!:hi::nic:

Welcome, good looking boat, where in Fla are you? '85 models are preferred ;)

Welcome and good luck with her, she will be a fine ride for you

Thanks folks. I'm in Madeira Beach, FL right by John's Pass so I can get from my dock to the Gulf in 5 minutes. Great location.

My neighbor has an 84 with a 150 Yamaha and he swore up and down about what a great boat it has been for him. So far... I LOVE IT!!!! Handles some rough water pretty darn great! Handles smooth water AWESOME!

Sweet dude, Welcome to the brotherhood!!!! Ive put my CC thru hell and back and she's always ready for more. You'll love her!!!!

+ 85's look cooler and get more chicks, haha!!!!

Which, while not as nice or as wanted as 96 v21's, do have a place in V20 lore.:butt:
