Questions about a 1977 V20

Thanks Bradford,
It's a cuddy model.
Haven't been to see it yet.
It's powered with a 150 HPDI.

Like the idea of the newer power and new trailer with this 1977 boat. However the HPDI require injector and VST service more so then carb motors. Maybe I can find one that is a later model with a carb Yamaha power.

We started looking for something to replace our 15' RIB thinking a fiberglass hull would be safer to trailer over a long distance. First we looked at 17-18' center console boats and then started looking at the V 20's. We got two footitis before we ever even bought anything.

thanks b, i knew they switched late 70's. should have put a disclaimer on that post. good idea about checking the catalogs. might have the belly tank, i think if it does, i think it's self bailing. if your coming to fl anyway, might want to keep an eye on the local craigslist. course, you probably don't want to spend a vacation working on a new to you boat.

sorry if i threw some bad info to you.

I had the 77, it was before they rasied the decks for the belly tanks and self bail, so the have the saddle tanks (which I liked), and drain to the bildge (which I hated) but it was a good boat for the 9 years I had it. but after getting swamped by the wave and almost sinking it was the time to move up to the sea ox! I miss it, or any boat at this point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
