Hi, everyone. I haven't gotten around to posting for awhile, but I made a short season-launch video this year, as well as a last-day-of season video. The weather was superb on both days. My V20...

Dual fuel tank problem
Another longer-term suggestion: install a manual selector valve. I have three tanks (two saddle and an added one under a rear bench seat). I originally just tied them together, but soon found that...

Dual fuel tank problem
Thunder - I can almost guarantee you that Thomas Point MD has given you the exact answer. I have a 1975 w/ dual tanks, and experienced the exact same problem several years ago. The boat would...

Super job. I love teak and don't find it excessively hard to maintain (that said, I rack-store my boat indoors).
FWIW, for I use Cetol Satin Light over natural teak stain for all surfaces except...

When I bought my 1975 V20 it had only saddle tanks (40 gallons total). I wanted additional range for offshore fishing runs, so I added an 18 gallon Tempo Model TP18SC under the bench seat that I...

How Long To Reach Top Speed
By my count it takes about six or seven seconds to reach top speed with my sweet, never-rebuilt 1989 Evinrude 200XP, but you be the judge. I shot this little video at last year's launch:

Blu Lunch & Skools:
One other question, when you put the deck back, how did you refinish it to blend in or keep the anti-skid?
