I run an '89 V20 out of the central coast of california on a consistant basis. It does great. I am anal about making sure everything is in 100 percent working order before I run long distances, and I usually run with other boats in talking distances. My suggestion is that a V20 is great in open water if you are a capable captain and know your vessels limitations. Experience is the key! I have seen guys that have been out in sloppy conditions in 24'-26' boats that had less business being there than I did in the V. I also run a 26' Osprey long cabin (it sees alot worse water than the V these days!)

Thanks to all for the replies. I'm not really sure yet If I will be able to utilize the capabilities of the Wellcraft in saltwater environment. I asked the owner today about the trailer if he meant galvanized tandem instead of steel tandem trailer. He said it is steel and it matches the boat color. I was kind of disappointed with his answer. I was expecting either galvanized or aluminum. Anyway, water test is set for this weekend. I enclosed the pictures let me know what you guys think. BTW, he's asking 8 grand. Is this a good price for this boat. Thanks guys.

Good looking rig, but I think the price is high considering the trailer is basically rust if you use it in anything other than a freshwater environment. Hell, the price is high anyways, but I'm half buzzed so whatever.

If you ask me that looks like a galvanised trailer. Boat looks very clean but the price sounds high.

Rambilt,
So what's the verdict? Did you see the boat? Did you buy it?
