V2o Steplift
Help , I picked up this v20 steplift hull this weekend at a bargain to good to refuse, I have since clean and pressure wash it, I am getting quotes to have the bottom painted and the sides from the rub rail down , previous owner painted it with what seems like a roller brush then someone hose it off . The paint runs are quite visible and horrible.
First of all I must say the hull is in excellent condition very solid and the cuddy is immaculate. Plan is to restore it and swap my engine over and sell my current hull. The fiberglass from the rub rail up is excellent and I will like to just clean it up and keep the glass work on top. I am at lost in regards to the sides; do I strip the paint off and just have it re-painted? If so what brand and kind of paint to use ? I am leaning towards a Blue for the bottom white hi –gloss for the sides? I need a cabin door and two rod boxes any ideas ?

Congrats on the "new boat".
There is a current thread going about rod boxes, check it out.http://www.wellcraftv20.com/communit...ead.php?t=9432 I think BeaverDamMarine was scrapping a V recently, he might have a door.

Before you get going, have you ck ed the transom ?? Make sure it is solid as all the decks! You don't want to go wild and find that you have to tear into something and waste all your time and money.
awlgrip paint is the only way to go if you are going to paint it!! On something like this time is your friend!! Don't rush it!! CK out this thread, Skools has rebuilt a boat from ground zero lots of info here go thru the hole thing!! There is another boat in there so don't get confused, but I will tell you will learn all you need right there!! http://wellcraftv20.com/community/sh...ighlight=micro

Question
Can I mount Evinrude 140 20" shaft on this hull , Its a 1984 v20 Steplift the transom seems to be higher than my 83 v20 Steplift by approximately three inches , Or can I use a Jack Plate , I have seen some pros mentioned "Jack Plates was not meant to compensate a short shaft motor"

Looking at that picture tells me you MOST likely will need a complete transom in that boat. You can see the silicone gooped up on some old transducer holes, and there appears to be some cracks over on the port side where the aluminum is missing. I' malmost willing to bet that boat was pulled out of service for a reason looking at that picture. And no, your 20" shaft won't directly swap over. You would either have to convert yours to a 25", or cut that one down like your 83 is. First thing you need to do is get that aluminum off and look in there and see what you find. But make sure and keep it covered over, many a transom has gone bad because people left that cover off.
