Default My first Boat

My dad gave me his 1970 v-20 I have always loved this boat, after asking him to sell it to me he gave it to me as long as I put her on a new trailer. Shes in great shape, although id like to do some modifications. heres the first pic I'll shoot some more over the weekend.

Wow it sure looks pretty mint for a 1970 boat....That brandy spankin' new trailer under her doesnt hurt the looks either. A 1970 boat may be the oldest one on the site? Was the first year of prodction right? Welcome to the site you'll have a blast hanging around here. What part of the country are you from?

Yeah the trailer definitely helps, overall the boats in great shape especially for being Forty years old. as to location I'm in Sussex County Virginia, and usually fish the Chesapeake bay
and its tributaries. This site is great by the way Ive been tooling around here for a week or so in preparation, and there is definitely a wealth of knowledge to tap into here.

I believe its a 160 Mercruiser I/O. I always loved the lines on the V20s, all that flare! I'm super excited!
