Grew up with Penn Yans. Can't find them here in richmond, so I went with something just better. Freaking charter buisiness in the past makes me want to fish just that much more. Hence the v20! Can't wait to make it happen!! Pics coming. Anyone recommend a little regular bondo to fill in the fiberglass lines and air bubbles?

Hey no kidding your in Richmond, thats about an hour west of me. Did you charter out of OBX?

I know people dont recommend bondo for boats, but I have used the premuim gold here and there with good results, good primer and paint helps Im sure

Sweet deal Link! When I get her fixed, we should meet up and take the twins down to the launch ramp. It'll look like a freaking wellcraft commercial! The charter biz was on Lake Ontario(grew up in Binghamton NY). Never was able to get the fish bug out of my blood. Looking to get my sixpack license so that one day a can charter out of The Banks. That would be super sweet!! Just a few more holes to fill on the console,then it's on to the gas tank to see if it needs replacing. So glad I didn't dump her in the water first shot!!

I have known people to use Bondo on above water line to do screw holes and stuff.

I would NOT use below the water line as Bondo will absorb water if not primed and painted right! They just don't match even all painted.

Yep X2 on what Macojoe said- aove H2O.

2 twin V20s would class up any river! Yeah besides a good wax, my boat is done. Motor is at mechanic now getting freshened up. I'm going to drain all my fuel and replace all the lines before I launch also.

You need quintuplets to look like a real Wellcraft commercial!. This was from a get together here in NJ this summer...we think 5 is the current record to be photographed together...if we had our act together we could have had 7 I think but 2 boats were there earlier than the rest. Give you VA guys something to shoot for.

Hey Blue that is a plan, sounds great! Hope we have a good bite like previous years.
Gloucester, Pt, Va -quiet little town on the York River across from Yorktown on the lower Chesapeake


Rwilson - thats impressive! I'd have that turned into a poster! That gives us something to shoot for REEL! We go to a sand island on some weekends and most summer holidays in the bay off Mathews, Va. Usually 2 or 3 V20 cuddys and a couple centers, if we add mine and REEL we could have a fleet!

Ok REEL - keep the progress pics coming!

Still working on some more pics. Thinking about towing her down to the shop so I can work on it when the car count is down.

Actually, if you add two other boats that were supposed to show but couldn't for various reasons.. (Willy and myself) we had the potential for 9 boats. So you southern guys are gonna have to really get it together to take the record. (send pics)
