Default Bees!!!!

When I bought it I found out that it was full of honeybees. Worked on getting the honeycomb out this weekend but it's a nasty job. I actually flooded the boat to kill all the bees. They were in the front hull in the one foot by one foot hole. It was a nasty experience but they are finally gone and I can actually start to work on it.

that's a 77 or older judging from the cap.

Maybe it's just the way the sun is shining in the pic, but I like that bottom coat color. Kinda a satin sheen to it.

If you'll take some advise, get a trailer jack for the front tongue of your trailer... that way, with it jacked up in storage, when it rains the boat won't fill up with water.

Naah, it's '77 or older, like FERM was sayin'. Look at the floor hatches.

Definitely a 70 to 77 vintage. You know though, with the V20's, newer is not necessarily better. They are all great boats, and the older models have a lot more teak than the newer models. The only teak I have on my 1991 V20 cuddy are the hatch rails. Lexan door to cuddy, roto-molded rod holders, etc.

I had it down like that to drown the bees that were in the hull. I had to raise it back up to drain it. It is going to stay raised from now on. Thanks for the advice though!

Default Some Pictures

Here are a few other pictures for all to see. I have to show my ignorance as I have never owned a boat before and only been on a couple. With your directions on where to look for the markings that tell me the year I do not understand the boat lingo. Could someone please be more clear on where to look. Sorry but I am very new to this!

Default Few More Pictures

I did also leave out that the motor is completely shot. It had an Evenrude V6 on it. What motor would anyone recommend?
