Well guys that one didn’t last long. I’m now looking for my fourth V!


Had motor issues from the start. Ran fine for the short inspection before buying. That was the last time it ran fine. Glad I have a good kicker! Also found a soft stringer and motor mount while spending my share of time in the engine bay. I tapped the heck out of that that before buying but even though it was thawed outside I guess the water in the wood was still frozen, had a completely different sound to it.

I sold her for what she was instead of what I was told and took a beating. Probably too much of a beating as it sold extremely quick.

Live and learn, hopefully I’ll have my fourth V soon. Already have one in my sights if the owner and I can agree on a price.

If anyone knows of a solid one with an outboard let me know, have cash in hand.
