She's inside a warm and spacious garage!
 

Actually backed her in a couple weeks ago. Several things I want to do to dial this immaculate. last year V-21 in. Hats off to Begreene for taking great care of her during his ownership. It shows. The biggest project will be replacing the wore out rod boxes with pop out storage boxes. Also removed the two middle rod holders that were indexed incorrectly by an owner previous to Bennett. Those two jobs will be handled by my local fiberglass shop just up the road. I will clean up the battery compartment by shortening the overabundance of wiring and assorted hoses. As you guys know there isn't a lot of room back there. Especially with a Group 29 battery. Various hardware will be replaced, deck drains, clamps, etc. I have all but one thru-hull replaced with Groco 316 SS units. Fish box thru-hull should be here Thursday. Lewmar S/S bow roller was installed back in August along with a Windline gripe to keep it secure. I still have to mount the new S/S Perko nav lights bow midship. Nice to have a heated garage to work in during this winter wx! Keep you posted! Dave

Sweet vessel. I had my differences with bgreene but he sure kept a nice boat! Well, other than those thru hulls. LOL

Enjoy your projects. Springtime won't be able to come soon enough for you!

I remember changing out those deck drains, what a PIA. No way to get where u gotta get to get it right. At least those rod box cut outs look far enough toward the stern to get at them.

Hard to tell from photo. Does the fuel cell cavity have a removable deck section on the V21

Where did you get the 90* deck drains?

Phat the rod boxes openings extend rearward enough to easily do what you need to do. I believe the port side deck drain or floor is lower than the thru hull. However, the height of the opening on deck is enough to allow it to drain with a bit of water always in the assy.

The fuel tank can be removed by cutting the soft patch. Wellcraft was smart utilizing a plastic tank in lieu of aluminum. No drastic temp changes with plastic VS aluminum which means no condensation or very, very little.

The 90-degree deck drains are factory originals. The plastic fitting above deck is thin and they crack over time. I sourced a pair from West Marine and just used the above deck pieces. The threaded male portion could have been just a little longer since the elbow below deck has only a few threads started in it. I used 3M 4200 on all threads to help seal everything and give it a little more rigidity. 4200 was used on all 5 thru hulls as well.

Replaced all 4 Bimini top "plastic" hardware with Seadog 316 S/S fittings. These are nice guy's!
