New owner

Hello all,
I am new to the forum and a new V20 owner. We just bought an 87 cuddy with a Yamaha 115. We are transitioning from sailing for the past 10 yrs and have already been enjoying crabbing and sunset cruises. Having only dabbled in power boats over the years, I will be picking your brains from time to time. We keep her on the Toms River in NJ. Currently there is no name on the boat, she was formerly "Shore Bet". We have renamed her "Knee Deep" and should have the name on her for next season.
Jeff

Thanks all for the welcome. We are having a great time so far! Lathe, thanks for the site. We used this ritual http://www.sea-dreamer.com/page.asp?pagename=naming when we renamed the last sailboat. Instead of champagne, we denamed with Pussers rum and named with Guiness. Hope to complete the ceremony soon.

Can't miss with that combo. Hope you have many years of pleasure with her.
