STINKY:

THE FIRST BOAT I HAD IN THIS COUNTRY WAS AN AQUASPORT LIKE THE ONE YOU SHOW, ME AND MY COUSIN FOUND IT LIYING ON THE SIDE ON THE ROAD AND RESTORED IT, WE FOUND A GUY THAT WAS A JOHNSON DISTRIBUITOR IN EL SALVADOR, THAT , DUE TO THE WAR, HAD TO BRING ALL THE STOCK BACK TO U.S. AND LET US HAVE A 150 HP AT A GREAT PRICE.

BOTTOM LINE WE SOLD THAT BOAT WHEN THE MARIEL BOAT LIFT TO SOMEONE THAT WANTED TO GO TO CUBA TO PICK UP THE FAMILY FOR $12,000.00 (BACK IN 1980)
AND WE BOTH BOUGTH NEWER BOATS WITH THE PROFIT
(MY ACTUAL V-20)

Great job, looks awesome. The ride of that boat is another story though. My tin boat rides better than my 17" Whaler did. They are super seaworthy they just ride real hard ;)

Hey Stinky, guess you know this guy over on the clssicmako site too.
