Welcome to the site. Good luck with the V20.

sorry to highjack the thread but I have a question/request. What year is that?looks to be Late 70's ? I love the way the motor well is open straight to the deck.
If you get a chance, could you post a pick of the motor well from several angles. Its got me thinking of a project to remove the "spashwell" on my 84 cuddy, since I'm redoing the transom this spring.
I see there is a deck hatch for the battery?

Here's a pic of what I'm thinking of removing.

Hey no problem. Here's about the only pic I have of the transom area. It's under a tarp and a foot of snow at the moment this pic is a couple weeks ago before the snow. If you look close you can see a chrome hook. I think it came with removable panel that could go over the transom opening if you want. Perhaps somebody else has a pic of that. My dads boat has a similar transom design as yours and one thing I did like about it is he can create a small table for cutting up bait and or handling of fish and any mess can easily be washed into that transom well. But the open design will be nice for sweeping minor dirt or water from cleaning right out the back. It has the scupper drains but those are also susceptible to clogging so straight out the back is even better. Start a thread with pics when you start your project love to see what you come up with.

ps no that deck hatch is for the bilge. The bats go under one side of those seats with the teak tops.
Its a 1989

Ahhhh! I see.... there's a trade off on yours cuz you have those boxes on the sides. I did put some Starboard on top of mine and I mount a cooler there.

I would love to have clear space in the stern. Not entirely all-in on the idea of fabricating the deck and a hatch though...definitely has "delayed fishing start" written all over it. And in the end, I'd still be kicking a cooler around...
