NICE!
Do you use the pipe ladder built into the top to access the crows nest?

Wow! That thing totally transforms your boat into a serious fishing machine. Outstanding!

Thanks Captpete

That's my intent. I'm looking to make it a perfect pocket fisher. There is lots still to do... full enclosure (a must for cold weather fishing), dual ladder back captain chairs, radio box, dual 8ft whips, Bow pulpit with anchor. And if I can find a used radar unit cheap enough I may even go with that!

Lumber better watch out I'm coming after his title of cleanest V20 on the site!

Welcome to the V20 "Express" club!
Get the enclosure first. I resisted for years saying "I like the wind in my face". November stripers with an enclosure is awesome!

Just an fyi, I use a 3ft stainless vhf antenna mounted up there and I get great coverage.

I'm sure you'll be putting nav lights and a deck light up there too. Did they give you an internal cut thru from a vertical to the top horizontal pipe? Plan that out and do as much at once as possible because trying to fish another wire later is tough.

Looks great. Congrats.

For some reason still cant see Kamikaze's or ANY of Ridgerunner's pics. In fact the only pic I've seen of Ridgerunner's is in his avatar, No hogfish pics, no inverted V hull NV pics, makes me sad.

Comes up at the screen where it's telling me to log in, although I'm already logged in.

Maybe Mj or Valiant , or someone could fix it?
