New V-20 Owner

Hey, look through my threads. I just redid a 1987 and have some tips in there that I got for the wonderful people here. If you want i can get you my number and I can discuss more in detail.

So I'm confused, do your boats have actual lifting eyes on them? Or are they just a backed bow eye?

As I know them lifting eyes include a big turnbuckle or bolt that attaches the bow eye, to a deck cleat/eye, or just a lifting eye up on the foredeck.

Whalers all have them, i think. Never saw one on a V-20

Yes. At least mine does. Right behind the navigation lights is a ring cleat. That is attached through the deck with a large diameter threaded rod which threads into a steel plate/bracket that is bolted into some captive hardware that I imagine is gelled into the hull. Then there are two stainless bow eyes out on the transom.
