Default Add ons since purchase

Here are some pics of some add ons since I bought the V20.

Revarnished the hatch cover


New radio and antenna


Latch locks to keep seat closed when trailering







Home made bait board. Night shift does have its perks.












Bow ladder for Momma and the kids when at the beach. When they aint happy aint no body happy.






Transom bracket on it when I got it.

Thats all for now, will take about an hour to upload these with dial up. All suggestions are welcome but you cridics have the right to remain silent.

Cy: The hatch cover is teak and it came with the boat. I stripped off the old and revarnished. I used 3 coats of McCluskis marine varnish. Not sure I spelled McCluskis correct. The wood for the bow ladder is new marine grade oak, with 3 coats of the same varnish.

Wow, guys worry when they see a piece of metal wrapped on the transom, but yours is a custom fit. Super nice work on that support bracket. It wasnt just a cheap bend, but custom bends and welded as well. Looks good.

Hammer: I was worried when I first saw this bracket but when I tilted the motor up and tried to push down while looking for transom movement, it did not move.

The father of guy I bought it from made and installed it years ago out of aluminum.

Freebies are nice but I havent found any for the projects I have done yet.

Next project is to replace the springs on trailer and some square bent bolts.

Would post pictures of springs but I dont even like the looks of them, Should'nt feel bad I just bought the boat in Jan. and have done alot of work already.
