Default Who feels the same way I do?

I own my boat for over 25 years,and when I drive up to her she is still beautiful. Never get tired of looking at that hull.

I m with ya Step. Had mine 32 years. On my third motor. Original ,84, Merc 150 lasted 10 years. I bought it in 91 and put a new Mariner 150 on it in 94. It lasted 20 years,1800 hours, until 2014. Got a Merc 150 4S now with 900 hours on it, it should outlast me.

Some of the most beautiful lines of any boat made in it's class. Timeless beauty. I've had various V20's for over 40 years. Never get tired of looking at them. They just look like a boat should look.

I see a V20 cuddy with a hardtop in Manasquan River all the time. Reminds me of the Skunkboat. Beautiful...

You all know me (if you've been here a long time) and my history with the Pipe Dream. She's been with me over 30 years now. Like phat, I'm on my third engine, however the loss of engine #2 was on me. That engine should have lasted the rest of my life but it went down with much of the boat in Matthew and was replaced with the current one which I hope WILL last me the rest of my life. Not perfect (no boat is), but serves our needs well and unless I come into a lot of disposable money I'm not changing now.

and she'll stay afloat
through the toughest gale and keep smiling..."

Going on 20 years with the V21. The things I've asked her to do .... she's never said no or complained about it, not once. Even when she knew it was likely a terrible idea!
