I bought my 1987 C/C new in the same year, and since then I have changed the motor three times, had the transom redone to remove the 20" cutout that was original to bring it back to 25", replaced the gas tank this year.............I have trailered this boat from Florida to Texas, fished up to 35 miles ofshore, put almost every kind of fish on it, and explored countless islands and inlets, gone day crusing on inland rivers, and trawled for shrimp, overnight camping trips, I can't think of ever giving up mine. There is a special attachment for my boat that I just can't put into words.........I don't think I will ever be able to give it up....I love how it throws the spray from a wave out to the side in an arc with the sunlight streaming through it! It has such a well thought out design, that everybody who steps on it for the first time is amazed at the amount of storage in it. Even when I had to replace the fuel tank, it was already planned into the design to just unscrew the deck hatch and replace after completion, other boats require a saw! The more I use it the more I love it.........No regrets at all, other of lack of time spent on it.....Heres a recent pic...........Ocean Springs Day 3 (55).jpg This is at Ship Island off the coast of Biloxi Ms. in July 09

Naw, I really appreciate all the comments and good advice. The love and passion you guys show for these boats is impressive and its something that I want as well.  I definitely understand that there can be pain involved with an older boat (especially in the wallet) but it seems worth it. Can't wait to start posting about the quirks I am going to have with my V so I can get your guys' help.

Yep, everyone commented on how high the chines and scuppers rode out of the water. Early 90's model if I remember correctly.

Do i like my wellcraft v20, just look at my name , that says it all
the reason why i think they discountinued the design is because some educated moron, said lets stop making it its been around along time and came up with another hull design, of course the a$%hole doest no a thing about boating or fishing, he must be the same brain that came up with the new coke[remember that ] look at the mustang it looks like the old one and its selling fast next do i have regrets, hell no its a great all around boat, would i get one again absolutly not, why cause im not getting rid of my 1978 case close does it cost money tell me what doesnt welcome to the site, there a bunch of great people on this site and will try to help you with anything that can make owning one more fun go out and get one
