Intro new to me V20

[Crifasinator]

thanks guys
billy- yeah it is an awesome boat for the straits near me I'm looking forward to cruising more toward san pablo and chasing some halibut when the come in. I'm not exactly sure how to check the transom and stringers?? they look and feel good/solid. floor feels solid the only access it seems I have is to the bilge around the motor.
Destroyer-thanks for the ideas... putting together a tool box with some spare parts was in the works but you gave me some good ideas.the PO had two pumps a 500 and a 750 auto that quit the last couple trips. I got two 1200's and am putting them in one on a float switch an the other hard wired. I guess they are just gonna go in the bilge by the motor.
P.s. the stuff about the wife and the boat name is a real kick in the pants.

I've been working on her and want to get back in the water soon.
