|  dive setup 
			
			I don't own a v20 yet, but am looking for one.  I plan on doing more diving than anything.  Does anyone know of any gallery photos where someone has modified theirs for diving?

			The previous owner of mine used it for diving. He didn't make any mods to it other than a good swim ladder. He kept the extra tanks in the "fish holder".

			When I was looking to buy a V I ran across one with some tank holers setup just above the rod boxes on each side.  It had capacity for like 3 or 4 on each side.  Something like this: http://casanovasadventures.com/catalog/dive/p1190.htm |

			i dove out of mine for about 10 years, no real mods were necessary.  i cut a piece of plywood to fit the cavity between the "bunks" and then cut holes to set tanks upright in the cabin.  i also installed 4 tank racks in the cockpit that would hold a tank w/bc.  that gave you out of the way storage for 8 tanks and the floor box was for weight belts fins  etc. agree with rkc a good swim platform is also needed.  i also added a stainless "handicap" hand rail to the transom to pull yourself up and a ladder you can use with fins on.  this is the only photo i have hand, but you can see the grab rail on the stern   |

			Thanks for the replies.  I think a set of suction cup type tank holders on each side would do it for the tanks.  I like hammer's dive platform.  Personally, I prefer entering the boat over the gunnel, using my fins to propel me up & over... but my wife, prolly not.
