Hi y'all. New to forum here. Bought my second Wellcarft. My other one is a 84 26 Nova II twin. Great boat.

But I just picked up a V20 Center console. Is this also known as the fisherman? Gonna do a LOT of work on it and will post pics. Probably have some questions alone the way. I picked up used 2001 Evinrude 200hp FICHT. Cant wait to get going on it!!! But I live in Michigan and it sure as heck not 'fix up ur boat' weather. ha

Here she is. Branson feel solid as a rock. Stringers too seem real good. Typical Wellcraft built like a rock. Only thing is I see the floor under the seats is soft. At least that center floor section comes out. Or maybe I can get at it through those access holes??? Expanding foam?? Yes seems 1/2 *** but it could work maybe.. Gas tank must be there eh?

Opps I meant to put this in the general threads not performance. okay ... so will this 200hp get me to 50mph?

Sounds like a good deal.. Think the 200 will do just fine. Working on a 86 cuddy
can see some of the picks under general fla restoration..
Good luck

I was in the Keys for two weeks... sure didn't want to go home!! Beats the heck out of MI weather! Thanks for the double my money offer Phatdaddy but I really don't know what I'd then do with my 200hp on the pallet in my garage! ha Can't wait to get started fixing this thing up!!!!!

Yea... cult isn't too far off. lol The way one thing leads to another in a project boat I'll be lucky if I'm still married by the time I'm done! ha My wife doesn't even like boating!! I really should have had a better screening process... turns out there were other 'qualifications' I needed to investigate. LOL
