Default New here!

Hello everyone,
Been lurking for quite sometime. Reading and gathering all the info I could on the V 20. Big thanks to all the contributors to the forum. Lots of info here that is very very helpful.

I purchased a 1987 V 20 about 1 week ago after looking at 5 different V 20's. The boats isn't perfect but it's in pretty good shape. The floors and transom are solid (no flex and no water when removing screws from transom). The steering needs attention either cable or helm unit.. not sure. The VHF turns on but needs an antenna so I'm not sure how well it works. The 2.6 liter 200 Yamaha check out ok (compression,lower unit, etc). The woodwork will have to sanded and sealed.

If it wasn't 26 degrees with a windchill about 17 degrees I would still be outside working/play on it. I spent the day building a frame and covering it up with tarps. Looks like old man winter is going to stick around for awhile.

Few pictures of the boat. She needs a good cleaning and a good coat of wax but it's a bit chilly for that right now.






Is this a factory transom seat?? I know it's sitting sideways but there is mounting points on the floor.


Thanks again to all that has shared the knowledge on this site!

Forgot to add that to my profile.
I'm in MA on the south coast.
Thanks for the kind words.

Sorry about the picture quality. I took the photos with my phone.

I guess I should have put that rear seat where the mounts are before I took the pictures. I'll take some pictures of the mounting brackets in the cockpit floor.

Looks very nice to me. Wellcraft did offer those rear bench seats at one point, so it may be factory original.
Good to see some more MA guys coming out of the wood work.
