I searched hard for a affordable electronics box for my t-top. So i decided to convert my Smith t-top bag to a cheap functional electronics box. Here is the finish product. It turned out perfect. All i did was build a wood insert for the bag.

Kracker Jack,

Terrific post and great looking boat.

So what model year did this boat start out as? I think I read somewhere in this epic that it was a 70's model.


I'm asking because there is a 1974 V-20 cuddy cabin posted on Craigslist for $500 with trailer and 200Hp Johnson. I plan on looking at it this week once the rain quits here. I could only hope to come close to the sweet boat your boat has become if I attempted the same makeover. You've already done the homework and gone thru the learning curve.

Red it started life as a 74' cuddy . this boat turned out awesome! I get alot of people that think this boat is a custom carolina boat. When i tell them its a v20 there like "holy ****"! Have also been offered alot of money for it also. Was a really cool experience building it. My buddy laugh when we fish because i cant wipe the smile of my face whenim on it.

Kracker , im rebuilding a 76 V and converting to a CC also .. I've used your threads almost like a how to manual .. Your work is awesome ! I have a question for you ..Actually many questions but Im going to hold back .. Did you stick with polyester all the way through your build ? Bedding the stringers , attaching your gunnel ? and if so any issues ? The conflicting opinions on this has got me spinning .

We live in the same area and ill bring you a case of beer for a conversation
