Hello to all!
I've been out of boating for nearly 15 years - and last owned a classic Glasspar from the mid 1960's. I am looking to get back into boating so that I can share the experience with my wife and little girl. I have spotted a V20 for sale in S. NJ on CL (
http://southjersey.craigslist.org/boa/1872467995.html) and am thinking of going to look at it (it's about a 3.5 hour ride from me).
I'd love to benefit from some of the more experienced V20 owners here and have some questions:
1) I'm looking to do a little daily cruising/water skiing and occasional fishing in the waters around Long Island (ocean and sound). Is a V20 the right boat considering my intended use?
2) As my crew will be all female - a head is a must :)
Has anyone installed a pump-out head on a V20? (I'm not thinking emptying a porta-potty is going to be a very pleasant experience - LOL).
3) The V20 for sale on CL looks so very clean - but the problem with a recently restored boat is that it's condition doesn't tell the story of it's care over the years - just the quality of the restoration. Is there anything in particular I should look for/at when inspecting her?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
