That Pretty Boat is For Sale

Hope he gets it. Makes me feel a little better about doing mine.

I heard that Eddie purchased a 26' center console (Bluefin?) that's the reason for the sale of this beauty.

That's a dilemma. I really want to finish mine...stringers, Black paint, some custom things I dream about... but I know I'll never get it back. I am on the fence about moving up to a 24'-25' to get me to the canyons on nice days. If I go forward with the V20, that will be my boat for another 10 yrs at least. I've owned it for 17 years.

That is a very nice V-20!

As I have said for many years, the 1984 year model is the best.

Something I've come to learn is that it costs about the same to fix up a cheaper boat as it does a nice one. A 23 to 25 footer you're gonna spend more on rigging, engines, etc, but paint, glasswork and such would not be a determining factor I feel price wise. Ths way I see it Skunk is you are right on the border. Spend a little more and your V will be the absolute nicest 20 footer 40 miles offshore or move up and spend more to fish the way you want more days out of the year. You gotta think about the money, time, effort, blood, sweat, and tears you already have in her you'll never get out when you sell, plus whatever else you'll have to put into the next one. It's a boat and even if brand new, custom ordered with all the options you want, it'll still cost you in small nickel and dime stuff.

If it were me I'd come off a few thousand or more and dance with the girl you brought.

I agree with Skunk and Bradford true true true. Lets face it the two most happiest days of having a boat is the day you buy and the day you sell!!!!!!!!!!

I think Reel should buy it.
