Getting ready to part with the old girl

[pjbrownva]

I spoke to Bradford about his boat, and she really sounds like a beautiful craft.

You can tell the passion that Bradford has for her, and all of the attention to detail in his work. It would have been a pleasure to own that craft.

Whoever gets her will have a very nice boat and hopefully will appreciate all that has gone in to making the boat so special. I would have purchased her in a heart beat, but the price -- although very fair -- was out of my range at this time. (Translation = I wanted it, but my wife said I couldn't spend that much on a boat right now. Guess who won?)

Bradford, if you would like me to post the pictures that you shared with me, I'd be happy to add them to this thread for you.


I wish you luck with your sale. I can tell that you are a genuine person and you have put so much attention into your V20 that she deserves to go to a good home.

If you still have them that would be awesome Phil, thank you!

I installed the new fuel tank yesterday, a new Racor filter and bowl, and a pair of 1000 MCA starting batteries.

Put gas in the new tank and she lit off on the first turn of the key after sitting for almost a year.

Gonna knock the price down to $6500 FIRM unless someone has a 25 or 26 panga hull or first generation Toyota Tacoma PreRunner they want to trade.

That price is HALF of what I spent with Adam's Fiberglass Shop, and LESS THAN HALF of what I spent on the engine, so if I seem reluctant to deal please understand.

Filled her up with gas and took her out yesterday evening. Reaffirms my reluctance to sell her. She leaps right on plane and cruises effortlessly at 30 knots/35 mph at 4500 rpms.

Very Nice!

Cruising at 30 is sweet.

I ended up purchasing Steve Larson's V20 -- I'm up on cape cod with it now. It's a nice, clean original V20 with 2003 4 Stroke. The site was down for a few days. I'll be in tomorrow, and look at posting your photos if I can.

1st keep her ,,she is a beautiful boat and 2nd call on the phone and actually talk? How do you do that? ( I would not let her go. 6500 would be gone in secounds that vessel will last a very long time,,,,,keep her.)

Sounds like your getting ready to go full time T McGee.

Go for it

Although, the V would be a great Munequita
