Here's more info, if it helps.
I believe I am the third owner. The prior owner lived in Macojoe's area (Middleboro). At the time, I was boating out of the Cape Cod Canal area. I grew up near the water (Long Island Sound) and on boats (sail and power), but my wife was a city girl with no boating experience. This boat was reasonably inexpensive, and I knew the seller pretty well, so it seemed like a low-risk way to see if my wife was into this crazy hobby. She was hooked, so the experiment was a success.
A few years later, I went back to school, so the boat didn't get much use then. We'd put it out on the mooring, and only use it every 2-3 weeks. Eventually, we bought a camp in NH, and switched to lake boating. We decided to buy an open cockpit bowrider, which was a better fit for our needs (more seating for family, etc.). The V20 was parked, shrinkwrapped, behind the house, for what turned into 5 years. Last winter the ridgepole snapped and the shrinkwrap collapsed in one spot.
Condition:
- Engine: The engine was always reliable, but it's probably tired. It is pretty noisy (sounds like piston slap). The alternator went out on me once (the diodes fried). I guess I may have shut off the battery switch with it running (even though I don't remember doing so). One spring, the boatyard launched it for me. While driving it out to the mooring, it died. They towed it back to the ramp and pulled it, and diagnosed it as a failed oil injection pump. They told me the engine "seized", but it seemed to run fine with a new injection pump. It may have gotten a bit noisier after that, but I don't really remember. I did look into buying a rebuilt powerhead, but never followed up on it.
- Hull: As far as I know, the hull is solid. There's no blistering or gel coat damage that I can see, beyond the general hazyness of old, sunbeaten gelcoat on the deck.
- Interior: I have the cuddy cabin cushions. They seem fine. There's a small porta-potty in the v-berth, but we never used it, so I don't know it's condition. The convertible bench/front-rear facing seat on the left side started to come apart. I pulled it to rebuild the wooden frame, but never finished. I believe it's long since lost.
- Curtains/canvas/plastic - The canvas top is a bit beat; the seams are starting to come apart. I'm pretty sure it's all there, and could be repaired or used as a pattern for new canvas.
- Electronics: Not much here. I've moved the radio and GPS to the new boat. The old fishfinder/depth sounder (Raytheon?) is included.
- Misc systems: The gas in the tank is 6-8 years old. Even with a healthy dose of Startron/Stabil, it's probably hopeless. I assume the batteries are shot.
