Well guys I have made a decision...I am getting rid of her. There have been some recent personal financial issues arise and I am probably going to sell the 20 and just keep the 18. In addition to this I have become more and more interested in inshore fishing rather than offshore. I will still offshore fish from time to time, but I can do this fine in my 18 as I do already. Additionally the few times per year that I will be venturing offshore just dont justify restoring the v20. They are fine boats, but to be honest not optimum for the type of inshore fishing I will be doing. I need something with more walk around room up front and possibly even a trolling motor. My plans are to enclose the transom on the 18 and use my bracket on it. I will probably also add a T-top later on when finances allow. The way I see it is I can do a few things to the 18 and make it more comfy for offshore and even better for inshore, yet have a lighter, more fuel efficient craft.
If anyone is interested in a good hull for restoration let me know. The way she sits right now is with fresh paint on the bottom and I have started on the transom enclosure. It is just a stripped hull and trailer. The trailer has fresh galvanize on it and new bunks/rollers/padding as well. The only thing wrong with the trailer is it only has one of the two axles. The axle is not in great shape so I am not sure what kinda road trip it could make. I was going to replace both axles with new heavier duty ones, but just havent gotten around to it. If anyone wants more specific pictures let me know, but you can also look at my gallery. Ill let her go cheap too. Just make me an offer. ;)

I guess with a 29" bracket on the 18 it'll be a V20...sorta. ::)
