I found one!

Unless you live in California, this may seem ridiculous, but I've spent quite some time trying to locate a V-20 that was worth it's asking price. I found one about two hours from here that was being sold simply as a "Wellcraft". I called to ask if it was a V-20, and was thrilled to find out that it was. Blah, blah, blah... now it's in my driveway.

It's a 1980 model with a 305 Chevy engine and Volvo Penta 280 outdrive. The hull is in great shape with the exception of some touchup work. The trailer, on the other hand, needs some attention. That will be my first project. I'll tackle the motor next, which starts and seems to run fine, but I want to check it out before I get offshore.

Anyway, you'll be hearing a lot from me in the near future. I've enjoyed following this site casually while I searched for a V-20, but now I'm going to dive in head first. I look forward to learning from you all and sharing passion for this boat.
