New member, looking at a V20

[reelapeelin]

Norm it's definately a 70's model...so somewhere between '70 and '77...seems if it ever spent a lot of time around saltwater, the trailer would be in much worse shape than it is, cuz it looks like painted steel rather than galvanized or alum...as for the stringers, yeah you should check 'em out, but if they're bad, it's more due to it being a possibly 40 yr old boat than the fact that it's a V20, if ya see what I mean...look just below the rubrail to the right of the outdrive...the last two numbers in the long serial you'll find there are the year model...

Definately find the bellows and make sure they are leak free and no cracks...bad bellows will sink one...check the foot oil for excessive shavings and burnt oil...looks in pretty good shape...when you wet test, check out your bilge pump, steering and all accessories...go talk to the tech that did all that work according to the bills you mentioned...and make damn sure the engine compartment blowers work as designed and that you evacuate the engine compartment EVERYTIME BEFORE you start the motor or one day you may go BOOM!...
