I am the very recent owner of a 1988 (?) V 20 Merc I/O from by brother who recently passed. He loved the boat but I know very little about this boat. For starters an instrument was removed from the dash so I am looking for a photo of the original dash layout.
I have not inspected the hull and located in Maine it will be a couple of months until I can give it a good once over. While I do not think it will be a problem, the prop was removed so I am not sure what prop to install but I am a long way rom that now.
The boat has been used in fresh water and I noticed that it had a depth finder installed but it was removed and the holes, while small were not filled which I take as "not a good sign" so that is an area that will need a serious inspection as well as the main beams and floor.
After looking over this site, the members seem like a great bunch .To date my only the experience I had was with a early 80's 26 Thunderbird which I had for years. I think this boat and this forum will provide many great memories. Thank you all
