V with curtains is fantastic
I've had a center console, and now with the V I'm WAY more comfortable.
Front and side curtains means staying warm and dry. Here in NJ, fishing from April to December that means a lot. Guess I'm getting old because when I see other boaters running huddling behind the tiny center console front windshield I just don't want that anymore. Down in Fla and such.....that's another story...... remove the V curtains and just use the bimini to keep from burning ! All good with the V !

I couldn't agree more. If I had the money an enclosure would absolutely be the first thing I would get for my V. Truthfully, I've never understood the appeal of a center console. (Oh, I know that for fishing they make getting around the boat easier, but a walk around design does the same thing, and you still get a cuddy that way). But even without an enclosure, the shelter provided by my windshield, bimini and cuddy are still more than a center console would give me. I just wish I could get the set-up like you have Greenie.

Back in 1999 when I put my 1st V together...the '74, one of the main things I did was a full, four sided enclosure...forked over $1800 for it and never regretted a penny of it...secure a propane heater inside during hard winter, fished 12 months and LOVED it...
Front and side curtains are a great start...the rear panel is icing on the cake...

My enclosure was done by a one man operation - Sam / Dynamic Upholstery, Cherry Hill NJ. Phone # is 856-779-9000. Welcome to send me a PM if you want more info.......
Probably wouldn't have the curtains if I didn't find this guy. Back to performance - countless times out on the ocean, breeze picks up, running along, spray fiies and pours down the front / side curtains and there we sit, dry. Nice. Last edited by bgreene; 03-16-2014 at 07:28 AM.
