Surveyor says that the breach in the hull bottom has to be inpected and repaired by first pulling the cockpit floor and then the main fuel tank.
Then the bulkhead tabbing all have to be inspected. Especially for a hull that was being banged repeatedly for hours by othe big boats. The rudders are both tweaked as are the shafts, the rudders are actually pointed in diff directions indicating other issues in the steering components. Te props are both tweaked, one of them pretty badly. The skegs that hold the cutlass bearings are both tweaked. Basically all new running gear is needed. The both would have to be faired and sanded and awl gripped which is a 8-10 thousand job on a boat this size. The stainless bow rail is mangled up and needs to be replaced. No idea on any bulkhead engine room or transmissions yet, or inside components for the cabin. So it is going to be a very expensive proposition to repair. With a lot of unknowns.

Breaks my heart to read the extent of the work would have to be done on that breach in the bottom of the hull...if it could all be done from outside, then doable...but pullin floor and tank...gets dicey, then toss in the running gear R&R...$$$ add up quick...Problem is, it still LOOKS good...I almost wish it was busted in half...that way it'd be an easy call...the good news; there's another out there w/your name on it...you just haven't met her yet...
In light of all the devastation around you and all our V20 brothers up there, I know you are thankful for the truly important aspects of life...y'all stay safe up there...this will take time to parse through, but all will be past in the future...keep yer hair combed...
