Va Beach v20 project

[bradford]

The small details like that will make all the difference in the new life you gave your boat. One worthy of passing down to younger family members. Hard to believe it's been almost 4 years already since you started! I picked up an '83 center console last week that I'll probably just flip. If she had been an early 70's model I'd have to keep her.

Boat looks great Kracker.

Real top notch work.... Maiden any day now!

Beautiful. Love the wide open stern & the wide gunnels. Has "fishing boat" written all over it.

Would be cool with twin 90HP four strokes ...

You're sealing that starboard down to keep wash out of the bilge?

Started wiring power trim pump today. Here im using connectors with the heat shrink/adhesive.


I then put liquid tape over the butt connector and slid another heat shrink tube over that creating a good water proof connection.


Here is the finished product. Next will be the trim switch.

The transom organized nicely. I like consolidated and clean. We will be spearfishing out of the back of this boat so keeping things tiddy is important.

Turned out very nice, great job!

Kracker, you are a smart man. Great work on the V. I see calm waters and lots of envious fisherman at the launch ramp in you future.

Kracker, you sure got the clean look you were going for...looks GREAT!!...I'm like the question above...are you going to seal and fasten that hatch lid down...Starboard floats ya know...I was on a flats boat recently when the worst case scenario happened...and the splashwell's hatch lid floated up after taking water over the transom...filled the arse end of the boat pretty quick...I can see it happening on yours w/out fasteners holdin' that puppy in place...

Great job on this V...
