V20 - MINT condition

[RWilson2526]

I'm pretty sure CaptainMike is not the original owner , he bought the boat back a year or so ago....never said how much he paid for it but I'm sure the original owner didnt come down to far off his price... Of course I could take the time to go back and do some research to confirm....

yes, it's the same boat. It's in cherry condition. I absolutely love it, but it's not big enough for me to take out all my deadbeat dive buddies who won't buy a bigger boat themselves. We usually dive 6 people, sometimes more, so I need something a bit larger. Looking at a 32' ex-commercial fishing boat.

I grew up fishing on my grandfather's V20 and this boat has a very nostalgic spot with me. I'd keep it but a) I don't want the cost of storing / insuring 2 boats and b) I need the money from it to buy the bigger boat.

If anyone's interested, it's in Pensacola, FL stored in an enclosed building. It's as clean and tight as the day it rolled off the line. And runs like a champ too, the damn thing screams along. I just had the engine serviced (compression checked out perfectly, had the water pump replaced, new lower unit gear lube, new water separator, etc). Feel free to touch base with me if you have any questions.

one more thing. Yes, those are the same photos from the prior owner. Nothing's changed, looks identical. It's always been kept indoors by him and by me, so there's no chalking of the gelcoat at all. I keep a good wax on it, as did he.

Only difference this time is it includes a galvanized, tandem axle trailer.

Got any pictures of inside the cuddy ?

That is sweet. We usually dive three outta mine and four's a crowd with 3 tanks each. You should get a Parker.

How about those pictures of the cuddy ?

Or is the boat sold ?

I'll say again and stand behind it. This boat is Mint! But no longer for sale. Decided to keep it. Hate to part with the V
