i see the purpose of the thread now.
new alum gill bracket with twin 90hp e-tecs. custom fuel tank to hold 120 gals. radar, twin chartplotters, nice big FF, it would be really cool to have a large fishbox incorporated in the transom. livewell lean post. i would like all the cockpit floor to be teak. A sort of bimini style top that they use on the big sportfishers would be nice to get out of the sun too.

Got alot more out of this than I figured, most of you even got it. The idea was what you'd do to "this" boat to make it perfect. I'd love a 33' Grady or 60' sportfish also, but we're on a V20 forum.
Someone said that the cc and dc rode better than the cuddy. Anyone else notice that? Why? Weight distribution?

Spot on as usual reel! So, going with the spirit of this thread, I would also add auto-pilot to a cuddy model. That way, I can ride in the back.

I'd never heard that, everyone just says how well the V rides. I was thinking weight distribution had something to do w/ it. Didn't even think about the position of the driver. I can't imagine that a set of tabs wouldn't even the field.

1960's model Alim Marine V20. Knock the windsheild off. Bolt on a half tower. Trash the I/O and hang a balanced and blueprinted 140 looper with a 30" shaft on a bracket (does that even exist?). Use the old engine bay for extended fuel capacity or maybe a livewell/bait jacuzzi. If not I could spend some money on a Yanmar diesel I/O set up. Mount a fighting chair in the cockpit. Paint the hullsides black, topsides, deck, transom, bracket, and outboard white, and white again below the bootstripe. Small amounts of tasteful teak trim. A big ol' bow pulpit fit for a harpooner with a big ol' rail. All stainless hardware. Maybe after all that I'll figure out how to post pics and let ya'll see it!
