Default Traded my jetski for a 1985 V20 Fisherman

Been reading on here for a while. This is my first post and from what I can see, you GOTTA post pics!

It's an 85 with an 85 Mercury 200hp. When I got it several months ago, it had a bunch of failures, including dead-no-start 7 miles out. I rewired EVERYTHING and now everything works. Also had to replace the helm last week.

This week I am redoing bottom paint and doing some gelcoat repairs. The next major thing is to replace the floor from the transom to the step-up in front of the console.

I have really gotten a lot out of being a lurker on here and I hope to start contributing very soon!

Thanks folks. I'm in Madeira Beach, FL right by John's Pass so I can get from my dock to the Gulf in 5 minutes. Great location.

My neighbor has an 84 with a 150 Yamaha and he swore up and down about what a great boat it has been for him. So far... I LOVE IT!!!! Handles some rough water pretty darn great! Handles smooth water AWESOME!

Which, while not as nice or as wanted as 96 v21's, do have a place in V20 lore.
