New V-20 project

Curapa · #1 05-30-2013, 08:21 PM

Thanks to this website I have aquired a new project boat. After I sold my 18' Fisherman I posted a thread looking for ideas concerning a V-20 bracket build. Last week I recieved a call from a young man that had a closed transom V, he saw my thread and offered the boat to me for free. I met with him today and negotioated $500 for the tandem axle trailer it sits on that needs a bit of work.

The transom is shot and the deck is too. No worries, I planned on having to close in a notched transom and raising the deck as well. It is a factory closed transom so that saves me the work of closing the top cap.

I don't have many pics yet as I have not picked up the boat yet but here are a few. She's rough but I see potential.

i'm guessing that was a seadrive originally? nice find. way to save one from the landfill.

Yeah, it was a seadrive. It's definitely landfill material for most people.

Sweet, I love bracket center console models. Have you seen "On the Fly's"?

I got everything I need to repair the trailer and should get it to the house this weekend if this rain will let up.

I am starting to get crazy ideas like a built in custom fiberglass bracket like the Wellcraft Nova on Sreamandfly...

I will make that decision when I get it to the house and check out the condition of the stringers.
