Default Re: Long_Island V-20

Brian,

When I bought my V-20 I got it for a song because it has a Sea Drive on it. Nobody wants Sea Drives and even a running unit results in a discount in pricing (this was my experience anyway in Southwestern CT). If you can hang in there timingwise, you may get a great deal on a hull and not have the additional expense of glassing a transom before putting on a new bracket and motor. With the Sea Drive, all you have to do is get the new bracket and motor (as I plan to do once my Sea Drive does bite it). The full transom makes for a very spacious cockpit and you may luck into a full transom seat as I did. And if you do find a running unit, the OMC parts are easy to get.
