Wanted: V20 in/near VA

[willy]

Hey USMMA, my father, rest his soul, served thru WWII as a Merchant Marine and worked as a Marine Engineer for the rest of his life, graduated Kings Point.

Wow!! I can't say how much I respect the Merchant Mariners who served in WWII. I still can't believe how much of a fight theyve had to put up to achieve veteran status...they were just as much a part of the war effort as the guys on the ground but not many people realize what a big part they played.
I'm just a fourth classmen (freshmen) but I will be majoring in Marine Engineering Systems as well!

nipper...I like the sound of that...maybe twin 115hp inline mercs :)

Guy just informed me he sold it today for 500$...oh well, there will be more!

Just 'bout got a woody thinking of a couple old school tall dog 115 merc 6 cylinder inlines pushing a V. With or without bracket, that would look sweet.

There's always this one:

yeah I know...

I saw somewhere online where a guy had twin 115 i6 mercs on a 20ft whaler i think...talk about a solid cruise speed he had 35mph at 2400 rpm!

That one in VA beach looks good, wonder why its so much cheaper. I've got two guys coming to look at the old boat this week, one is pretty anxious about it so we'll see.

[usmma2013]

I talked to the guy with the '73. It needs trailer work, but he'll let it go for 500$ and the boat is apparently solid. I also found a running '88 evinrude 175 from an etec repower for 800$. Thinkin about this combo...that'd leave me with a few hundred for parts, repairs, etc.

Ok guys how bout this one, its a 75 V20 with a Seadrive however the owner claims that it has a 225 Evinrude with an adaptor for the seadrive...?? Either way it doesn't run sounds like an ignition problem from the ad.
I'm not sure if theres a difference between a 225 Evinrude an the 1.6L seadrive but could that be correct?
He's asking 2500 for it

MMA-
I have an 84 without motor that I am thinking about getting rid of. It has a 2000 double axle trailer, all new hubs, bearings, BB's. The boat has a solid transom and complete electrical upgrade. Garmin 440S, fuel flow sensor, 4 Channel Clarion amp, 4 new 6.5" infinity speakers. I also installed a Blue Seas ACR to keep both batteries charged while isolating the house and starting. With the upgrades I ran almost all new wiring to the dash. Everything works on the boat just no motor. It is currently rigged for yamaha with a new control box, control cables, new helm and cable, digital tach, new fuel and volt gauges. I was gonna list it for $2500 and see what I could get. Figured $1000 for the trailer, $750 for the electronics and $750 for the hull. If you are interested let me know. I am located in Northern Suffolk, just SW of the MMBT.

Yeah once you get those electrical bugs in there it is a giant pain to fix it, unless of course you have an endless budget or are really a mech. The boat looks really good though and if you can figure out the bugs then it would be a great deal. If you look at this one, pop the flywheel off and check the timer magnets. That in conjunction with my stator is what gave me such a pain. Good luck.
