Newbie asks: Is this a good deal?

[C YENSEN]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder......

If she looks good and you like it, I would say it is a good deal.

welcome to the site

Sounds like a good deal to me. The 115 is the minimum hp I think for these boats but should still push her 28-30 mph I would think.
Welcome

Have you wet-tested the boat?...put it in the water and run it around a bit?...heard the motor run?...any of that?...

The 115 will pull kids up on skis and probably a small adult up on two skis, but a large adult on a slalom will be tuff...

Post us up some pictures if ya can, but for 2 grand that includes a good trailer, you can't go too wrong...Enjoy your new "V" and welcome to V-20 World!!...

It sure does look good. I've built a few small boats over the years, and the lines of the v-20 do speak to me. Probably exactly like the motorboat that used to come with a Matchbox car and trailer.

Wow...that looks nice!!...and the trailer's in great shape...go for it...have you done transom test?...tilt motor all up...apply your weight to the lower unit gradually and what do you hear?...lots of creakin' and crackin', plan on transom work...no noise is good thing...but for the price, I'd go ahead, regardless...


Try goin' back to P'bucket...click on IMG line, then copy/paste to here...brother, if I can do it, ANYBODY can do it...
