Found a V20 - A few questions for the experts

[Enforcer]

Keep looking!! Just to much work there. But the crack between the two floodr tanks are a normal thing, I haqve seen t least 5 that way mine never got ny worse

One question to clarify. Do you see the work being all in the floor, or the external areas of the hull? I'm comfortable working with fiberglass and working the floor myself, the external areas, if they are of concern, I would leave to others. I plan to have the bottom painted, and figure I'll have that all done at the same time.

I can get this boat with a solid trailer for under $2k, which seems to be a very good price for my area (southern New England). Only hulls I've seen in the same range are non-running inboards, or don't have a trailer.

This isn't my first boat, and I do hope to get on the water by Mid June

Going to paint the bottom indicates you plan to keep it in the water...(why would someone paint a hull bottom and keep it on the trailer?)...if that is so, I would make sure the crack at the drain-hole is not allowing water into the transom...

for the time nd money you re going to drop in this boat I would keep looking! Have you seen the price of glass and resin as of late?
I sold my V last summer with running motor trailer and all the work done for $3500

Good Luck
