After discovering bubbles in the gelcoat on the bottom I almost gave up on her. I have Patriot Yacht Services coming by to look at the bubbles. Hopefully with his advice it wont be a nightmare. I looked at several V20 center consoles today. All had rotten floors and busted hatch lids. Sellers wanted $1000-$1500 just for the boat alone. All had some stringer rot. One was so bad I offered him $300 and he pretty much told me to leave. So back on my V20. I got her flipped over and back in the garage. At least it will be easier now to work on the bottom. I am going to paint it while its flipped. Interlux VC epoxy, over an eppxy barrier coat. This V keeps getting closer and closer to a death sentance but somehow everytime she wins me back over. Gonna be a brand new boat when I am finished.
