I picked up a 1978 v20 cuddy on craigslist FOR FREE. it was completely striped, up on blocks, no trailer, the only thing that came with it was a box of junk and the windshield,console and covers over the cuddy.(oh and a lot I mean a lot of bees yellow jackets and white faced wasps) It originally came from PA. went to NY. and landed in Mass since 2009. when I went to look at it, it was completely covered in primer and not much to look at. I liked the lines and over all look of the boat so I put on my trailer and took it home. in the last month I have installed new stringers, bulk heads and the side gusset's and ripped out the transom.(that someone replaced that thought they knew what they were doing NOT) while I was doing all that I noticed the wasted space fore and aft of the fuel tank. so I glassed in 1 1/2" foam between the stringers and bulkheads for two built in floor coolers with connecting drainage plumbing from the cuddy to the bilge area. I know I'm getting a little wordy on my first introduction to this site and I could go on and on but, i'm excited about this boat and I have a lot of interesting ideas for it while still keeping looking like it should. I know everyone likes pictures and I have a lot of them and will get them up soon.
