welcome gb, an og owner is a rarity indeed. you had a great eye for boats at an early age.
does it still have the original power? and, if you don't mind the question, what did it cost new in '87? |

I don't recall exactly what I paid for it in 87. I will have to dig out some old records. I was looking for a used boat to replace an aging 1961 Grady White wooden lapstrake but when I saw the V20 I knew that was the one. I was able to get a good deal on the new boat with a used 115 Mercury straight six. I replaced the Mercury with a new 150 Johnson Ocean Runner in 1995. The boat currently has a 2003 150 Mercury Otimax that I bought as a new(still in the box) leftover in 2005. It has been a great boat and now my grand kids are enjoying it with me.
I will try to dig out a couple of pictures and post them. GB |

I did a little digging and found the original bill of sale. I picked up the boat at Johnson's Boat Yard in Wickford RI on July 23, 1987. The price delivered including all the canvas was $12,786. I had hoped to have it earlier in the season but when I started looking, the boatyard had three in stock. By the time I finally called to tell them I would take it, they had sold all three and we had to order the boat. I remember stopping by to see how things were coming along and Bill Johnson, the owner of the yard seemed to be talking about everything but the boat. Finally he said, "look out the window" I did and there was the truck with my boat on it pulling into the yard.
