I went and did it now!
Girlfriend leaves for Vegas on Wednesday - Boyfreind buys boat on Thursday. Coincidence ?! I think not!
Well I just pulled in the drive with an 82 cuddy! Sold my 29 sport cruiser this spring but still had the itch. Dad had a newer (back then) V20 when I was in school and I'm familiar with this boat and it's ride on the Great Lakes - so I went alooking. Saw a bunch at different stages of life and price levels. This is the one that followed me home. The skinny: - V8 200hp Mercruiser - consistent compression on all 8, needs a carb cleaning - older trailer - this will be part of the project - bottom paint, brown bottom paint :'( - soft gas access panel - not too bad of a fix - your basic 23 years of nicks and bruises. The V20 gallery here will be my inspiration (perspiration!). I have ideas from all you. I envision white with navy blue boot stripe and cover/bimi. I'll try to follow the 'Pipe Dream' model sans the gas tank issue, add a 'Fillet1' tackle hatch and chart holder, and MJ durabak floor. Wish me luck - I'll post a pic or two shortly Pete No - I don't want to know what she's doing in Vegas!

Re: I went and did it now!
We're from the same school of thought:
It's better to ask forgiveness than permission. ;D
