Hey all, new to this site
I picked up a 1978 v20 cuddy on craigslist FOR FREE. it was completely striped, up on blocks, no trailer, the only thing that came with it was a box of junk and the windshield,console and covers over the cuddy.(oh and a lot I mean a lot of bees yellow jackets and white faced wasps) It originally came from PA. went to NY. and landed in Mass since 2009. when I went to look at it, it was completely covered in primer and not much to look at. I liked the lines and over all look of the boat so I put on my trailer and took it home. in the last month I have installed new stringers, bulk heads and the side gusset's and ripped out the transom.(that someone replaced that thought they knew what they were doing NOT) while I was doing all that I noticed the wasted space fore and aft of the fuel tank. so I glassed in 1 1/2" foam between the stringers and bulkheads for two built in floor coolers with connecting drainage plumbing from the cuddy to the bilge area. I know I'm getting a little wordy on my first introduction to this site and I could go on and on but, i'm excited about this boat and I have a lot of interesting ideas for it while still keeping looking like it should. I know everyone likes pictures and I have a lot of them and will get them up soon.

Welcome to the Cult. Someone will show up at your house and show you the secret handshake and explain to you the Secrets and Mysteries in the next few days.
If he is wearing the Ceremonial Bison Mask, don't shoot! Had a little incident like that with the last new guy. .

Hi and welcome. My V20 is also a 78, and as everyone knows, that was the best year for the V20's..... you got a good one.
Regading the guy showing up at your house to show you the secret handshake... there's a little problem.... The secret handshake is so secret that we can't show it to the guy that's supposed to come to your house. So here's what you do... Walk down the street and ask the first 50 people you meet if they know the secret handshake. One of them will probably be the guy that was supposed to train the guy that was supposed to go to your house.. In the meantime, again, welcome and post those pics!!!
