Time to let go

Destroyer · #1 08-21-2018, 04:16 PM

Hey everyone. Anyone need/looking for a V20? I have to let mine go (wife is after me to sell it because I never use it because I use my V21 all the time.) So here's the good the bad and the ugly.

The good: The boat is free. It's a V20 with a solid hull, no soft spots in the floor or transom that I can see. It has a Johnson 200 HP looper engine. Hull in not painted. 20" transom. Oh, and did I mention that the boat is free. Boat comes with all bill of sale, registration and title papers.

The bad: The engine has some minor issues. All carb related. I tried to change from oil injection to per-mix and somehow screwed up the vacuum hoses... anyway she doesn't idle properly right now. So whoever gets it will probably need to redo the hoses and linc and sync the carbs. I don't really know and don't have the time to do it. But she's a STRONG engine and set properly will move that boat to 50-55 mph. There is no trailer for the boat. So you will need to have one or I can sell you the one that she sits on for a very cheap price. But I'm NOT trying to sell the trailer, I just understand that someone might need one.

The ugly: The boat is in NJ so if you want it and live in California or thereabouts it's going to be a hell of a commute. I'm willing to trailer the boat a reasonable amount of distance for just the cost of gas.

If anyone is interested let me know before I put her up for sale locally

You got to be kidding ..

Selling cheap is bad enough but now giving these boats away ?

Check your PM and where in New Jersey ?

Downriggers shown in the picture are not included. (They were cheap plastic not made for ocean fishing. I have a few more pics. Bimini top tore and is not included. It was thrown away. Whale tail on the engine is no longer there. I removed it years ago. Didn't like it.

Trailer the boat is resting on in these pictures is not the trailer that is available. The trailer in the original post is the one that is available. (Black rollers, not yellow)

D, I might have someone interested, he wants to know if there are any pictures of the helm, deck and cuddy? He doesn't care about the motor, he will put on a new one. Thanks

Giorgio, there are two other forum members that have already expressed interest that are in line in front of you. I'll keep everyone informed as things progress. As far as pics go, other than these, I don't have any of the helm, deck etc in my computer. If I have time I'll shoot a few more tomorrow, and if not then over the weekend for sure. And I should probably keep my mouth shut, but Photobucket is still (obviously) working for me. Strange.

And for everyone, please remember that these pictures were taken years ago. And, while they are still pretty accurate, just remember that this boat has been in storage, covered, for several years so she might not be as clean as she is in the pics. Nothing that some soap, a little elbow grease and a pressure washer can't cure in a few hours time.
