Now that my green machine is getting wrapped up and ready for striper season every time I go by there and see it I see more and more I want to do. Problems is that I really need my boat in the water!!! I'm having major withdrawals of being on the bay. So I think my solution may be easy...buy another boat!! Lol. Sounds crazy, I know, but to get what I vision in my head would mean just tearing my perfectly fine boat to pieces.
Here's what I want. Something bare essential simple. I like the way the first v-20 center consoles were with just the top cap and open floor, not the whole one piece tub. Couple hatches in the floor, console with a seat on the front, big wide open floor for fishing room. Probably about 30 rod holders around the cap. Closed transom with a bracket, 150-200 hp outboard. Would love a 4-stroke if it's in the cards.
This will be a couple year project but when done it would be exactly what I want. So my first thought is finding a good hull to start. Hopped on CL and bam...there she is.
Found this gem about 40 minutes from home. Has titles to both trailer and boat. He wants $425 for both, may be able to haggle him down a bit. Transom is shot but I really don't care about that obviously. Going to go check it out this weekend. If I get it i probably won't start working on it until the new year but it'll be there ready to go.
