Congrats Brother!!!!

Now, about that bench seat......

[willy]

It is a 1992, bought from the original owner, did not fish hardly with it, just cruised in the Toms River and immediate Barnegat Bay area. He and his best friend bought one together. Original engine, approx 500 hrs. even compression within two pounds on all cylinders. Well maintained and very clean. Floors like a sidewalk and transom to match. Kept on a lift until the past two years when he sold his house and bought somewhere else and did not have a lift anymore.
His friends bench seat was bought from Wellcraft and it started falling apart after a few years so he went to a local marine welding shop and had them make a custom version with stainless bar stock, 3 1/2" by 3/4" thick and had custom cushions made for it.
Has two mooring covers, one for when the bimini is up and it needs some work on the plastic window part. The other is in pretty good shape and is for when the bimini is down.
Has three sided enclosure. It needs some zipper lub it looks like, but the plastic is in nice shape and looks serviceable.
Interior and cushions in the cuddy are like brand new, no stains rips or leaks from anywhere.
A couple of things I am going to address this winter.
1. it has the straight cable type steering which I don't like but works smooth and is in good shape.
2. you will notice it has no side wall rod boxes, first V20 I ever saw without them.
3. it needs some rod holders installed in the gunnels too.
4. I am going to put a nice hardtop on it and a bow pulpit and anchor hawse pipe.
5. has good working hummingbird fish finder and that is going to go, going to pick up a good gps/sonar for it. Not sure which one yet, still shopping.
6. Going to play around prop wise, it flys but the rpm max's out at 5000. The hole shot is great.
7. Has the higher floor and is dry as a bone inside, sea trialed in a heavy afternoon windy chop and she was sweet.

So tommorow going to Cape May with the family and when I come home going to go down in the Atlantic Highlands area and try to find the right slip or rack storage for her. The trailer actually is old but in very good condition, well lubed and has all new bearing etc. on her. She towed beautifully.

So here I am again had a big loss when I sold Old School and it has bothered me since that day. Sea trialed at least a dozen other very fine boats the past three months. Drove my wife crazy. She even told me to go buy a new boat last week. Then this one appeared thanks to a good friend of mine watching out for me.
Not bad, especially in this area $6200.00 , compared to the other V's I checked out, eight to be exact she is pristine.
Hopefully I get two or three good years out of the Yammi, then I will buy something new, but at least now I got a solid foundation to build on.

The beauty of no rod boxes is that you have a clean pallett to work with and not trying to find exact replacements for the crappy ones that Wellcraft used.
Nicely done willy.

Congrats Sir. May I suggest SSI rod pockets. You won't be dissapointed. From the looks of the pictures, you got a very good deal. Enjoy.
