Not mine. Local find in Hull, Mass.

Looks like the hull is in great shape.

Now that there appears to be one clean V-20. If it is as clean as the pictures show, then it's definitely worth it if it all checks out.

that is one good looking boat, if I were closer, and didn't have 5000000 other projects....

excellent candidate for a bracket conversion, give all that i/o stuff to bigshrimpin'

i dunno.... $2,500. with no motor?? seems a bit high to me. sure is clean though.

$2500 for a boat with a new outdrive, and a replacement engine waiting to be put in don't sound to bad to me. If the replacement engine is junk then I would say he's a bit high, but if it checks out he's not to bad I think. Shoot a decent dual axle trailer for a 20 footer is fetching $1000-1500 down here, so a $1000 for a project wellcraft needing put together isn't out of the realm of belief.

I agree, Ferman...considering trailer, top, short block AND the general condition of this boat how well kept it is, if I was looking for a V20 the bracket & OB, I'd drop $2500 on this in a skinny minute...

I guess I'm weird because I would drop it and finish her out. I'm not in any way anti I/O myself. Then again I'm not from up north where people moor there boats in the water. I wish I could find a nice V-20 for cheap with a 470 I/O in it(then again my 9 month old sees to no extra spare cash laying around).

I think he's got one too many zero's in his price
