1. buy one that's had major transom and floor related work done.
2. buy one and plan to need to have it rebuilt.

Since I have no interest in a major project, I'd prefer to find a beauty, already fixed and ready for the blue.

Somewhat smaller fuel capacity though at 60 gallons ?
I dont know if thats neccesarly true....I think there are quite a few V20's out there with original floors and transoms in good shap which if taken care of from here on out should last well into your future. My 86 is original and (at least as far as I can tell) is in fine shape. If you buy an already repaired one you always run the risk that it was fixed by a dumb azz and looks purty on the outside and lacking strength on the inside.
