My 1st V-20!!!!
 

I got it!!! I won the Ebay auction for this V-20 Sunday morning. Now I just have to get it from New Jersey to Northen CA but that looks like it won't be a big hairy deal. In the meantime I'll just keep staring at these pictures...

If he drives straight through with no stopping,
it can be done in 39 hours. (experience speaking)
If you do it the sensible way, three days.

Too bad you can't wait till July, I will be driving to Lake Tahoe for my sons wedding.

By the way, congratulations on the V purchase and
did you get an instant family with it, the little girl?

Re: My 1st V-20!!!!
 

Was wondering the same thing, does te kid come with the boat as well. ;D

Re: My 1st V-20!!!!
 

The decision on boat haulers will be made by tomorrow. The time frame for shipping it varies from outfit to outfit but it looks like 2-4 weeks. There WILL be pictures!

I talked to the owner by phone on Sunday. Kind of a sad story. He doesn't want to sell the boat but his wife is sick (didn't ask in what way) and life has generally taken a tough turn for their family. The guy who owned the boat before him did something horrible with the batteries that fried much of the electrical system. Fortunately, the guy I am buying it from is an electrician and has run all new wiring in addition to alot of other work. He was very proud of the electrical changes he had made so it sounds like it'll be quality work.

The little girl was not offered as an option. TunaHead has no children that he is aware of and is happy to keep it that way. He has two small nephews (3 and 5 years) that live next door but he gets to send them home when it's time for feeding and cleaning.
