First season on my V-20

[Dr. Hook]

Thanks all, just thought I’d pleasure your eyeballs a bit, since forums are always better with pictures

Yes it has tabs and I do indeed find them greatly beneficial to cut the chop. It’s been a comfortable ride most times, except one time when the chop was 3-4’, that was not too fun.

Great pics, I too am in my rookie year with my V-20 on Lake Huron at East Tawas. I have a Chris Craft moored there and I am going through a series of projects getting ready for 2019 salmon and walleye. It is a fun boat, but my 1978 needed a little love this season. I put 20 miles on her 2 weeks ago. Ran great..but more prep work to do.

Thanks, Duke

nice pics, beautiful water, but who threw all those rocks in right at the beach?

Duke, I hear ya, there sure is a lot to get prepared on a new boat, especially to set it up for fishing. I too am eagerly anticipating next season when its time to put it all to good use!

Phat, the rocks are a bit of a shame really, but thats Georgian bay. I don't know why, but the dry land is all sand then nothing but stones in the water! I guess God thought they looked pretty there and I must agree. The bonus is that it keeps most other boaters out of these beaches. To get in I stand right up on my seat, head poking up through the zippered opening thats in my canvas for a birds' eye view. Then very carefully weave my way in through all the boulders and little rock shoals. I'd love a bigger boat for rough days, but surely not for this delicate beaching operation!
