Hi everyone. My name is Andy. Ive been boating all my life have always admired wellcraft v20/21s. Im interested in a boat thats on the eastern shore of Virginia, the problem is that its a 10hr drive for meto go look at it. What i would like to do is pay someone, who is knowledgable about boats and somewhat local, to go take pictures and check out this boat for me. This may be one of my most hair brained schemes ever or it could work out well. What do you guys think and is anyone interested in taking me up on this offer. Thanks

Not hair-brained at all...we go check out local Vs all the time for long term members...since you are newbie, all you gotta do is pledge your 1st born to the service of the board and you're IN!!...
J/K...J/K...there oughtta be someone around that area who can swing by and take some pics and check it out for you...are you sure the owner isn't a V-20.com member...if so, we may already know the boat...

thanks for the replies guys. the boat is named bay dancer. its a cuddy with a 175 yamaha on it. owners name is matthew. real nice guy, talked with him yesterday. im not sure of the exact location of the boat, craigslist ad wasnt specific. somewhere on the eastern shore of maryland along rt13. i liked what i heard from him yesterday, stringer and transom done, good compression, etc. my concerns are interior layout and condition, is it to big for a single axle trailer, and his asking price of $5500 seems a bit high

Hi Andy,

Welcome to the site.

You mention the price seems high and it is only a single axle trailer...and its 10 hours away....

We do see V20's up for sale locally from time to time...

Wish it was closer to me, Eastern shore of Md is at least 4 hours from me. If its in shape like he says, asking price seems very fair in my market.

I have a single axle trailer that tows excellent!
