just bought a 1986 v20

Thank you all for the nice welcome. I'm a bit stunned by the popularity of this one particular model of boat. It must be pretty good. I almost went with a Grady overnighter 20, but that one had a few more years on it and i liked the bigger stern fishing area on the v20 over the tiny walkaround on the grady. Plus the v20 at over 300lbs lighter I could probably get away with using my merc 115 if the yammi dies out on me.

Looked and sounded good last weekend, but that was on the hose. Well just have to see. Only had maybe one or two square feet of some floor softness towards the helm. The chairs and flooring around the chairs all seemed solid.
I slip in Red Bank and will post some pics when i get it in the water.

some older gentleman once told me at the marina that one can get hooked on the water and it can get bad....I now know exactly what he meant.
