Are these arrows pointing to the spots you’re talking about?

Oh and since I figured out the picture thing, I’ll share my father in laws baby. 1972 with a 200hp on the back of her. Met up with us this past weekend and I was topping out at about 42 in my Coastal and he blew by me like I was sitting still. Thing is scary fast. She’s a little bit of a project but he’s got a nice one for sure.

I know that a lot of people say that a 150 is the ideal horsepower for a V20 but to my mind a 200 is way better. Granted you cannot normally use that much speed on the ocean because of the waves, etc. but on a smoother lake or river it is just a sweet ride at WOT. Your dad's boat looks nice.

The gap I was talking about is inside your boat. if you stand inside and look at the stern where the bubble comes through the transom. Follow the stringers and there's a place where the vertical stringers go through the horizontal stringers + They could have been joined together for more strength but Wellcraft didn't do it. They left a gap between them of about an inch. That's the area I was talking about. Hard to tell from your pics if they did that on your hull but that was the case on mine.

Yea I like a 200 on these hulls but a 150 does its job. For this project I have a 2004 Johnson 175 so I guess I’ll have the best of both worlds?? I bought a 20’ Palm Beach center console that needs a floor. It’s just been sittin because well, it’s really not my style of boat and I haven’t wanted to spend the time or money on it. But it was a deal I couldn’t pass up. I can easily part it out and get my money back but instead I am just going to part it out to myself for the V-21. I now have a console, T-top, leaning post, motor/rigging, fuel tank etc. The trailer it’s on is also nicer than the one the V is on so I’ll swap that out to.

If anyone local wants this Palm Beach hull when I’m done she’s free to a good home. Needs a floor and the PO cut some of the floor out and it’s been open in the rain so I’m sure the foam is logged.

Yes. Still... it's an interesting find for anyone looking for a smaller boat.
