1983 Wellcraft V20 Cuddy cabin
Volvo-Penta 270 outdrive Rebuilt marine engine installed May 2004, 305 CID motor (GM small block ) with less than 10 hours on the motor. New Volvo exhaust manifolds, new osco risers. New thermostat. HEI ignition, 4bbl carb.New Volvo Shift/throttle control. New trim hoses for outdrive. New teleflex gauges (except it has the original volvo trim gauge) new LED marine toggle switches and new fuse holders in dash. Most of the boat has been re-wired using upgraded tinned copper marine wire, tinned connectors, crimped, soldered and heat shrink tubing used on all upgraded wiring. New fuse box behind the console. New VHF Radio and antennea. New AM/FM/Cass stereo w/2 speakers. I added cockpit lights, and 2 power outlets at the helm. Dual battery system with new battery switch. Battery hatches replaced with new plastice hatches. Rod holders and most deck hardware upgraded to stainless steel. Bimini top. Just put the first coat of deckpaint on this weekend. All the old screw holes were filled. New deck plates in the hatch above the fuel tank when the core of that hatch was replaced. New rubrail. I had a section of the stringers replaced at a yacht repair shop when I lived in Virginia. Where the motor mounts bolt into the stringers had some water intrusion, the didn't use bedding compound and sealer when the motor was originally installed. I have trimmed down the bow rail about 6 inches, it always seemed to be right in my line of sight. I have dones tons of other stuff on the boat also, just too much to list. I was doing a little maintenance and repair and like always, I got carried away.
