Hey guys, I know it's been a while. I've been working on the v20 the last 2.5 years on and off, just haven't made the time to sit down and post pics, etc. (The whole thing with photobucket turning off the shared pics didn't help my motivation to continue posting pics either.)
Anyways, I still browse the site when I get the chance, and I just wanted to share the progress with a a group of folks that can appreciate the V for what she is. Having said that, I'll list out a few of the big ticket items we've done, and then post pics afterwards. I may not get to all of it tonight, but will try to start from where I left off and get caught up to current day in the next week or so...

- Added 5 inches back to transom, where it was cut down to a 20" transom by a previous owner. (This one I was concerned with, and we didn't really commit to just adding 5 inches vs a total transom rebuild, until we cut into what was there, and the wood was dry and no signs of rot. I think the fact that the original transom was cut down and glassed over by a previous owner, is ironically what saved the transom from rotting). With the help of a friend that is much more talented/knowledgable than me, we cut to fit and epoxied two 3/4"pieces of mahogany together, then cut notches for "wedges" into the new piece and the original transom. Mated the 2 together and let dry. A few days later we cut and epoxied in 2 sheets of heavy glass. Here's a few pics of that....
