Windshield, Hatch-Lid, Seat Boxes & Tanks

Hey Reel,


How bad are the soft spots would it hold up for a few years of use before a overhaul?
How fast are you looking to get it out of your yard?

Thanks

Hey ST, glad to see a fellow V20 guy here in my neck of the woods. I am on east side of Indianapolis.

Dang Reel, I hate ta see ya part it out, That boat still looks good! I wish I lived a little closer, Ive got time for another project. If you do wind up parting it out, I'd be intrested in that bowrail. Just name your price and we'll figure a way to get it shipped here. Good luck with your new (to you) boat!! Looks Great!!

I know Nipper!!
I don't have my center out here so I haven't done much boating.

Now I get my center or Reel's out here we will have to meet up out on the lake!!

ST, I have my 91 V20 cuddy and a couple "projects" if you are itching for working on boats! One is a nice 20 foot cuddy with no motor, but nice trailer (and which I got on Craigslist for free) just itchin' for an outboard on a bracket.

Nipper,

What kind of trailer is it and is there anything sitting on it? If I get Reel's Cuddy I'm trying to find a trailer just to get the boat back up here on. I have a trailer out in Maine. I'm hoping to use one to getting the cuddy up here then putting the boat on blocks, and then using the trailer in Maine.


Any help you need with the your projects just let me know I'll help any way I can.

The foredeck ahead of the windshield is soft and gettin softer...the floor in front of the seat boxes has been gettin soft over the last year or so...the transom doesn't bend or creak w/weight on the motor, but there is lots of wet wood in there...all the rod-holders and stuff that I'm takin off are leaving plenty of holes top side all around...the old girl's pretty rough, I don't want you to ride all the way down here expecting more than she is...the $250 I'm asking is about what I figure parting it out will bring...if you're serious, I'll hang on to it for a little while, but really gotta go soon...

ST, the 20' cuddy is not a V20, but does appear to be a pretty sound project cuddy which I could let go for a song. Let me know if you might be interested in looking at it. No bottom paint either and some pretty nice teak pieces. It was an I/O and would appear to a good bracket candidate.

OK, ST, it is a 1987 20' "Aerocraft" Mach 2 cuddy cabin. Kind of an off white color with a small burgundy gelcoat portion where the top cap would attach to the hull. It sits on a 1994 Shorelander single axle bunk trailer which does not appear to have any rust at all. I have really not been able to find anything specific on the internet regarding the Aerocraft brand, but again, it seems to be a solid hull, and I am certain that it has a good solid and dry transom. Come take a look at it if you like. I will be away this Saturday, but should be home all day Sunday. If interested, PM me and I will send you my phone number.

P.S. I will not, I repeat not, uncover my 1990 V20 for you to take a look at. You seem to have the V fever, and who knows what might happen!
