Wonder who that was ?

Uhhh . . . I wouldn't hold my breath for any boat appreciating in value except for maybe a conch27. If the boat meets your needs and you can do what you want with it (easily) then that's all that matters. V20's are inexpensive, low maintenance, capable boats . . . about as good as it gets for an all purpose 20ft craft (maybe a bigger cabin would have been nice :), but overall they are great boats.

I would have never sold my v20 except I got married, sold the boat, moved cross country, got divorced, remarried and got a deal on some seacrafts in between. Purchase price of my 3 boats $1800, $200, and Free.

Big -it's a little exaggeration I've perpetuated that goes back to discussion about sell price.
So, sure, $ 100,000 for a mint 96 V21.....last year offered, and typically $50,000 for very solid V20's !!! :)

Not that I could get it, but I wouldn't sell my 94 v21 for 10 grand. No way I could replace it. Still in love with her after 10 years. Now if someone offers 50 g's, I'll send her @ss on down the road!!

I always sed the V20 is the everything boat...fully rigged out for striper fishing; rod holders, bait tank, etc, etc....in less than an hour all that removed and converted into a family/ski boat complete w/tow pylon and extra chairs...did that many times while the kids were growing up w/a smile on my face each time!!
