1982 v20 cc tranny & other mods

Happy New Years to all.

After having to put the V20 to a side to fix some roof leaks & painting the home (have to keep the wife happy), I'm glad to resume the work on the V.

I'm going to install a anchor roller & rope pipe, but in a custom way. These pics show the mod & primer. Next, correct all the smaller flaws that appear by the hundreds after the primer.

Man, that's looking good TSP...very nice work...you'll be ready for a spring splashdown. Wanna do an 87V?

Tnx Richie. At last final work. I decided to contract the texturing job to a friend of mine (to technical for me). He's going to use a special sprayer to shoot gelcoat, no sand needed. It should look like factory work (I hope). These pics are of the masking job. Later I'll post pics of the finished work.

I'm really pleased w/the way it came out. Check it out.

I thought I saw a speck on that flawless white paint job - then I realized it was on my computer screen!

That's some gorgeous work, from the transom re-build to the non-slip deck finish. Really good idea raising the transom 5 inches. One of the only faults I've found with the V20s is a tendancy to sit a little lower in the stern than I'd like, especially the models with that huge hatch in the splashwell. Raising the transom 5 inches will provide a much peace of mind.

Kudos on a job well done.

Thanks for taking the time to document the whole ordeal too....I like the notch in the bow for the anchor roller. ....I missed that when you posted it a few weeks back. It looked so good i thought it was factory but I didnt think I ever saw that before so I had to go back and see your earlier posts about when you put it in.

Great work
