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

Great questions. Great replies.
Wellcraft caved into the pressure and went with a more modern design. It was probably money related.
Cost/Benefit Analysis $$$ I agree that a depandable powerplant is critical to preserve ones life and equipment. Boats are not a good investment. The hole in the water gets larger if your first choice of boat does not fullfill your expectations or requires a lot of work. So be honest with yourself. Do you have the time to work on a real project boat or are you going to spend a little more up front to buy a turnkey boat with few if any known issues. Working on the boat is a rewarding experience for me but everyone is different. B-O-A-T LOL! How true. My 20cc was free to me but I went overboard with the rebuild. It took too long to complete (10years)and I spent too much ($25K). I absolutely love the boat and It gets noticed. It is by all accounts NEW. If I had it to do over I would tweak the master plan to save a few dollars and I would take more pictures. I'm not sorry I did it but I would not do another one either. (Family man now, no time for major projects) This site is awesome as I too am a new member. Lots of helpful, knowledgeable folks here. I am thankful for that. My .02, Vic ttt
