Picking up our newly purchased V-20 on Sat

leeprice72 · #1 02-17-2011, 08:56 AM

I came across a real nice deal from a friend I have known for a few years. His Father in law did not use his cream puff 86 V-20 cuddy and wanted to get it from under his barn. 150 Yamaha 4 stroke 88 hrs on the meter. NOt a scratch on motor. My family owned a 77 and an 88 so I was quite familiar with the boat when we went to look at it. It was not exactly what Iwas looking for but when I saw it I knew it was the one. After some friendly negotiating we came to an exceptionally good price with electronics included. Many fond memories in the two my family had owned. One being the only time I have ever gotten sea sick. 7-8 foot swells going thru our pass and me chumming over the transom with balogny sandwiches (gulf was much calmer after getting thru pass). That was in the 77 which was 3 years old or so when we got it, 200 evinrude on it and it would fly. Boat is solid and clean and look foward to taking it out. I just tried posting a pic of it but after it finishes loading it says upload failed? Any input on why I can't get pics to load on this site. I post them all the time on other sites. Any of you guys around Pensacola?

Good try, Mack...

I'm still usin' Photobucket, but can see why others don't...you'll need a photo-hosting site to post pics here...PB is free and not too big a PIA...see the "How To" section on this forum for details...

Sounds like a creampuff you've run across...look forward to pics!!...

Hi and welcome.

Like Reel said, Photobucket is the way to fly for pics. Just register there, (free), then upload the pics to that site, then click on the ones you want to see here, then copy the link [img yourphotos img] and paste it where you want in your post.. poof... all done!!

Good luck with your new toy. Loof forward to seeing her pics. And yes, lots of ppl on this site from Fla.

Hello and Welcome Lee!

Nymack, that is why I made my photobucket username and password the same! If I forget one I forget them both.

Thanks for the input. Now it all makes sense. I'll go get signed up a photo bucket and get a few pics up when I get that bad boy in my driveway on Saturday. You all have a good weekend they weather is perfect here right now, finally.

Be sure you select a password for PB you can easily recall in the future...these old pharts around here don't seem to be able to remember theirs too well...ha, ha, ha....like mine I set up way back in '03 and being the oldest of these young whipper-snappers, recall mine readily...it's apafoo....apafoosabuggin...foosa bugginapa...oh yeah, I got it written down right here..now where is that damn thing...bugginappafoosum...what was that dog's name?...or was it my 2nd grade teacher (they kind of looked alike)...aw crap...
