Default "Fathom"
Here are some pics of "Fathom" I drug her home last weekend and then pulled her through a car wash. It looks good, but it is NOT! The previous owner painted the topsides with white bed line. 80% washed off. I am going to try to paint it with thinned out paint remover, let it soak, them power wash it off. I am buying a good power washer I guess. (Any suggestions?)
I plan to replace the axle on the old trailer and put this boat on it. Paint it and try to flip it. Save another V20

This is the goal! I plan to build a hard top out of plywood and 1x4's. Build it in place, then sand it smooth and round edges. Then I will take it off and fiberglass it with two coats of matting. Paint it white then bolt it on the boat.

Hey JohnnyMax, welcome to the forum! I love seeing before and after pics after a good scrubbing. It is amazing what a difference cleaning makes - I'd consider that sweat equity.

Looks like you've got your work cut out for you, but I like your plan. These guys on the forum have done about everything so just post up if/when you need help and I'm sure someone can assist.

So Frustrated. I have projects in front of my offshore boat. I got one down. I got the wife's 98 Corvette running, next I have to rebuild a soft transom on a 17' Renkin Ski boat. The wife will be appeased, then I will focus on MY BOATS!

Welcome JohnnyMax. I look forward to following your progress, and admire your goals.

I'm new to V20 ownership myself, and I'm looking forward to a great ride!

Cheers!
