I bought a 1983 v20 cuddy new, I fished rivers lakes stream puddles oceans backwaters inlets and a lot of other places where a boat should not go. In weather and conditions that have scared the bejesus out of me, often asking "what did Chapman say about this??".
My 3 children and a bunch of friend's children water skied and pulled every kind of pull toy including long tandem strings and home made floats, all day ,every day, summer after summer , boy scout and girl scout jamborees and on and on. We trailered allover the Chesapeake, fishing clamming crabbing camping. When my kids were small and we camped, myself and one of the kids would sleep in the cuddy on the water . I rigged a screen for the cuddy door, that was fun to sleep in the boat in the rain . I guess I am drifting.....
Later we moved to the ocean and my kids were older we ran offshore (watching the weather) up to 40 miles, 3 to 10 miles in sloppy conditions. My sons and grandkids still think this is fun but my old body likes the back bay. My grandkids and Great grandkids still use this v20 for anything you dare to think of.
I have noticed that all the old fishing guys always want to take my v20 when we go fishing the inlet or backbay even though they have newer or center console boats .This boat is on it's 3rd ob motor and still does everything I ever asked it to. sorry for rambling.
