Welcome to the site.
1984 is the BEST year for a V-20, especially with a 140 Zook on the back. Figure the boat being worth $1500 on the trailer, then look up the NADA on the motor to get a good ballpark on the price. If the transom is solid and the floor is solid, not much else to worry about. Good luck.....if you get it, you will be VERY pleased with that combo.

Yea sounds like he's still feeling the sting of putting that sweet motor on the back 4 years ago. Unfortunately its sitting on a 26 year old boat which is not your problem. In my opinion if you spring for new power on a V-20 you need to keep that puppy a long time to get your money's worth because you arent going to get it from somebody else....$5k to $6k at the outside I think. Cant blame the guy for wishing he could get some of that money back but being in your shoes you could find a boat with much older motor and still get 10 years out of it. And just because the motor is a 2006 it is no guarantee it will be bullet proof for you.

Hi and welcome to the site. Pretty much what everyone else has said... Way too high a price. Look at the stern closely. Although not a game changer, see if you can see sealant on any screws going into the hull from transducers, speed sensor, whatever is mounted on the stern. Everything that is screwed/mounted to the back end must be sealed. Your biggest concern is going to be a soft transom or deck. Walk on the deck all over, bouncing a little on the balls of your feet as you go. Don't skimp on this, and don't worry about looking wierd.. You're talking serious money here, and an ounce of protection ..etc. What you're looking for is anyplace that feels soft underfoot. That motor being a 4 stroke is going to weigh more than a 2 stroke of the same size, so you'll want to make sure the transom is soild. Good luck with your hunt. Oh, and Randlemanboater is wrong, the 1978 is the best V20 hull... just humor him.
