Default Another V20 Restoration completed

I have another thread that started with our dismantling the boat but it lost interest and meandered a bit. For those who are curious I'll include some links to a gallery with 300 photos showing the play by play of deck and stringer removal along with this gallery of the boat complete...

1988 Wellcraft V20 Center Console completed

280+ images of death, destruction and rebirth


Hit me if you have any questions about what we did or what you are dealing with...we learned a lot. There is no perfect answer in boat repair...many things work.

We started with a good transom and hull on double axle aluminum trailer with a questionable 1991 Yamaha 225TXRP for $2200...the trailer was worth what we paid for everything. New bulkheads, stringers, floors, glass and Durabak coating. If we were smart we would have parted everything out and made money but we wanted our first center console (buddy and me) for me to take the family to the sand bar and for him to fish Walleye/Perch.

We got about $7000 in the project in materials including about $2000 in graphics and new vinyl including a 3" pad for the "women folk" up front. Also about $500 in parts to bring the Yama back to life...it screams. All wood (teak) was left over from floor I never put in my Tiara 3100 Convertible.

Had it up to 48mph on the bay with 3 on board and a 17" prop...I'm quiet sure it would do 55mph+ with the right prop but it does start to walk abit!

Excellent job all the way around. Getting the youngster involved and participating. Cute as a button.. My girl turned 11 last I recall but she walks and talks like an 18 yr old. I don't like it.. Enjoy that center console, you did a great job on it.

The boat is beautiful, if i had the knowledge and the time i would do the exact same thing to mine.

This makes me want to keep my hull and turn into something beautiful like yours

Wow. How beautiful. I'm actually replacing the floor in my 1987 20' center console. Same exact boat as yours. I'd love to ask you a few questions about how you did your floor. I seen the pictures.
