Thanks gang look forward to many years of boating with her once I deem her seaworthy.As a high schooler in Tampa we had a 20-21 ft vessel that my Father who was the terminal manager for Shell Oil co. in Port Tampa had access to use and we would occasionally take it off its davits (almost a weekly occurence) to ensure it was running properly and go racing against the local C.G boat if they were around. I can't remember the make or model and other than the fact it had twin inline 6 cyl motors. I vividly recall outrunning the C.G. boat often across Tampa Bay between Gandy Br. and Courtney Campbell Causeway, it was a fast, well handling ,v-style boat and may have been a V-20, it was very similiar in styling and when I saw this boat nearly 2 yrs ago on a hunting forum for sale for $1500 w/no engine I checked up on it but it was too far away to actually go and see her then(Commerce,Ga.). Miraculously she showed up about 2 months ago on Craigslist for $1500 in Marietta,Ga., then he dropped the price down to $1200 a week ago so I pounced. Using my negotiating skills to get her down to the $1050. I plan on a full restoration eventually once we have settled near the water,although I do have a large lakes nearby(Lake Allatoona and Lanier). Either way look forward to the new project and comradery here as well,Thanks

Hello Tommy, welcome to the site. Good looking boat. Like MJ said, I love the naked bottom. Hope she turns out as well as she looks.
