The 25" transom was an option from early on(78 I think), but some time around 85-86 they started raising the decks up. I've seen 85's both ways, but all of the outboard 86's I've seen had the higher deck. The sea-drives and I/O's could still be a lower deck on up through the 90's from what I have seen.

i belong to that odd group of people.

now, did you mean the group is odd or the people in the group are odd?

because most of these northeasterners with V20's are odd indeed.

I suppose its an odd group of odd people.

Do these things sink? I mean, if I was able to put a hole in the hull in the gulf would it descend to the murky depths, or would it float at the top?

The later models have foam in them, I believe the consensus is 76 or 78 is when that started. It is hard to sink a V-20, ask MJ about his rogue wave incident.

I had a 1975 cuddy, Lets just say that a 10 foot wave will fill you to the gunnles and it will stay floating!! As long as it stays upright that is.

Was there a certain year when they changed from the ugly orange stripe to the blue one?

Sorry to those with ugly stripes. Can I get one with maroon?

Really just trying to judge age from picture when its not posted in adds.

I would think this boat is older while this one is newer but the wood trim tells me it is still older than this one which is an 88.

Mine is an 84 outboard and it has the raised floor.

They used several different colors during the same year model run so you can't really tell the year from the color........mine is red and black.
