As a kid, my family bought a camp on the barrier island south of where I grew up. So naturally we needed a boat to get out there and start fishing. At that time, my uncle had the '79 that I bought later on and my dad's friend also had a v20. So, my dad went on the hunt to find a 20ft CC that was not going to break the bank. Low and behold at the local boat consignment yard, the had a '76 with a '77 175 Evinrude for sale at a really good price. So, my dad bought it and brought her home.
That bought caught so much fish and we had so much fun on it. We eventually added wing tanks, a t-top, larger portable livewell, and got a glass shop to build the front area into a huge insulated fish box/storage area. That fish box was awesome. We also added a radio, vhf, FF/GPS.
Being a V20 we had to eventually replace the transom and we had to rebuild the engine have one cylinder have out on us. We then put a 81 ish 9.9 on the back as a kicker motor in case the big engine had trouble again.
Since then, I have been hooked on the v20. For where I fish, it is an awesome boat.
