Some posts made on another forum seem to suggest the boat I posted the picture of is a Seabird V-202. Any information you might have on this hull would be great.

I've got a 1968 Seabird V20, also suspiciously similar to the V20. The boat has a round keel towards the transom and I believe it has the hook you mention at the rear of the hull. Is this part of...

Re: Whos running the oldest or newest V

1968, Wellcraft wasn't the first to use the hull, more like the 3rd or 4th.

Probably, I'm not particularly familiar with newer skis, but I doubt they're much different.

Well, not really like a Detroit. *They usually work by covering a portion of the ports to vary the timing/area or by opening and closing sub-ports to change the resonance of the pipe to give a...

Re: V20 stopped now Jet Ski repairs from WRECK

Hey, what kind of pump are you running to make 78 mph? I've never heard of anybody breaking 65 mph on a 440 pump. The stock ones just can't move enough water. I don't even know if a 750 pump can push...

Re: 350 CHANGE OUT FROM 305
