Have you tried www.boattraderonline.com Probably the best online source. Just enter your search for Wellcraft boats 20 - 21 feet in length. I haven't looked in a while, but I'm sure you can come up with something.

Thanks for the tip, Chumbucket.

I was hopeing that one of the V-2O lovers on this site knew of a good one for sale, and their spouse would not let them have two ;) .

Any leads would be appreciated.

WOW ;D Dare I dream. Thanks Big Shrimpin, but I can,t get away with spending that much coin, what with my house needing work and this damn box freezen up at will.

I checked nada values and this is really not a bad deal, when you factor in all the toys included.

I've got to wonder, however, if the hull is sound. Why is this rig 4 sale so soon after the 2002 Santa Claus came to town?

Maybe, a newly discovered hull problem. Or perhaps it is an estate or disability sale?

I would definately check it out if it was within my budget.

Thanks for the cool dream, Big Shrimpin.

$3999


This one has an omc seadrive on it. This means that it has a full transom!!! You could ebay the omc 115 to offset the cost of the bracket and new power. Also the existing 115 on the boat is a good negotiating point.

underpowered?
too slow?
where do I get parts?

That type of babble.

There's one on ebay right now listed as a no reserve auction. Take note about the trailer, its not the tandem axle one in the picture. It could be a gamble, but who knows?

Re: WANTED : OUTBOARD V20 STEPLIFT CUDDY
 

Bigshrimpin - I called on that one yesterday. The guy told me they just sold it and it was sitting around for 2 years because of the concerns you mentioned. Ah well, ya snooze ya looze :-/.

Drumbeater - I'm gonna jump to e-bay right now, but I must confess I find the notion of buying or selling on e-bay intimidating (especially used boats).

I just want to say how much I appreciate you guys taking the time to pass on these leads to me. Would you believe that I flew down to Tampa to visit my father and inspect some junk v20's for a long weekend last week. I have an OK boat and a good friend with a v20 so I will eventually find the right one for me.

Now isn't it time for one of you guys to move up to a 2004 v20 ;)

Macojoe, Thanks for chiming in. I hope you have finally worked out the bugs in your repower project and are now enjoying what is left of the "summer that wasn't". Looks like you have provided me with a couple more sites to expand my search. Maybe Bigshrimpin can have an online pool to see which member can guess the date that Seakindly buys his v20. Winner gets a WELLCRAFTV20.COM t-shirt ;D.

Boat #1 is interesting, but I am not going back to Florida anytime soon. Too many really bad boats - with sellers telling you they are in great shape over the phone >:(.

Boat #2 looks awfully familiar. Hey wait a minute, THAT IS THE SAME BOAT AS THE ONE ON THE HOMEPAGE. Is that the same boat that Fugazi was on when he disappeared???

Boat #3 is not an outboard, and I don't have the time to do the conversion you did.

Thanks for the leads/sites, I am going to go check out some local talent and then go fluking. Beautiful day :).
