Re: WELCOME "THEFERMANATOR"
 

Sorry about the late posting, been doing alot of reading since I joined. I recently purchased an 84 V-20 cuddy for a decent price(probably seen it on E-bay), and I am doing alot of research to try and figure a direction to go with it. It has a 1.6L sea-drive on it now, and I am trying to figure out what engine options and upgrades I should do to it to make it how I want it. Here is the link to the E-bay ad since i don't have a digital camera to get any pics up.

Re: WELCOME "THEFERMANATOR"
 

Yep you got a deal there!!

as for power, I would and have added a bracket to mine and have a 175 hp on it, Best improvement I have ever made!!
And a Sea Drive is a really easy conversion!!

A bunch of elbow grease she be all cleaned up!!

And unless you like the look and have a bunch of time on your hands, get a sheet of starboard and start replacing all them wood hatches and stuff.

Hey guys look, he has the highly wanted seat box!!

Better not let anyone know were your house is, as that seat box will disappear faster then you can say Holy $hit!! ;D

Well Nator, ya done good (great as a matter of fact)...w/ that sea-drive, you've already got a reinforced transom...I'd slap a full-width bracket and a 225 E-Tec on that puppy if $$ allowed ;) ...

Figure out how to post pix...if I can, U can 2...and keep us updated on how ya go w/ it...you're sure off to a great start 8) ...

It's sitting on the back burner right now until I can get caught up on some other projects, but I figured for $500 it was worth getting it to hang on to. The engine didn't have any fire, tracked that down to a bad ignition switch(couldn't resist checking it out). And the steering is very tight, lack of maintence by previous owners(didn't grease the steering tube).

As for it having the heavy duty transom, I'm a bit scetchy on that one. It only has a wood transom for the flat portion and a piece where the swim platform is. Alot of the transom has no wood in it. I'm not sure if this is how they built them origanally or not, but this one is that way and appears to have never been messed with. I would love nothing more than to hang a bracket on it with a 175 E-tec, but I want to check it over some more before I go doing major changes.
