"Saw your add for 1958 V-20. Do you have any history on the origin of the boat. I did not think anyone made a V20 earier than then 1960’s. Do you have any information as to the manufacturer? Are you sure its 1958?"

This was his repsons:
"I have the paper work for the boat it is a 1958 V20"

No, I cannot see that what you wrote would piss anyone off.

I knew of no mass produced deep V hulls before the 60's, except maybe a 24 footer that was described in a report of the "America's Cup Race" that it ran like no one had ever seen. It inspired the early Bertram. I thought Bertram ran the Miami to Nassau in one of the first "one off" deep V's in 61'. I'm sure it's an honest mistake but still think 58' is possibly a typo. I also believe 68' is reasonable, they had that low deckline in 1968 and until Wellcraft started mass producing them in 1970 with the same hull but a higher coaming under the windshield that we're more accustomed to.

that widsheild is not 68 more like he said 58

[randlemanboater]

The 1958 V is back for sale....no pics this time and I think he was only asking $100 for it the first time....we should try to get to the bottom of this, I emailed him for pictures.
