Looking for a V20

[randlemanboater]

Greetings,

I just found this site yesterday and have been checking it out today. I have always liked the looks of the V-20 and am activly looking for one to put my 2003 Johnson/Suzuki 140 on. Anyone know of one available in the NC area, let me know (the cheeper the better). By the way, my 140 is currently on a 1974 Starcraft Holiday 21 (a great family riding boat but not good for offshore fishing).

Thanks for any leads.

Hey Randlemanboater. I have a 1972 V-20 with a 20 inch transom. I do have a stationary jackplate that goes with the boat which can be added in order to mount a 25 inch motor.

I totally rebuilt the trailer with all new parts (around $400) and had the transom redone on the boat to the tune of $800. All of this isn't counting what I paid for the boat and trailer - $1000. Or the 2 todd helm seats, which are no longer new but cost around $400 new.

I am in Lexington NC and the boat is sitting at the end of my driveway. My asking price has been $1500 but I will take less....lets talk! I have over $2000 in it.

Reason for selling is half-way through my restoration on the '72 a 1994 V-21 caught my eye. Had everything done to it already except for a new motor which I added after I bought it. I was going to be putting a new 150hp on the '72 had I kept it.

Sounds interesting.......do you have pictures you could send? How far away from being water ready is the boat?

Cosmetics aside, hanging the motor would be about all she needs to splash. Currently has Johnson controls. New steering cable, new rod holders, new bow and anchor lights. Trailer has new u-bolts, winch, bearings, springs, wheels, tires, and lights. Also boat has new fuel lines and I cleaned out the tanks about 2 years ago.

Trailer could use some brand new bearing buddies. It has buddies on it but I don't like them very well.

Cosmetically, she needs a good scrubbing. The floor has some of the normal cracking in the gelcoat especially around the corner of the floor hatches. Something you see on all of the 70's models.

Very classy looking lines on the older V-20's - I think everyone here would agree! I removed the bow rail - it was pitted and falling apart.

That's about it. Here are some pics:
Here she is before the transom work. I had a 140hp johnson on her. This was also before I had seats.



These next 2 pics were before I did anything to it:



Sorry, I don't have any pictures of the trailer work I did.

I would like to come check her out. Can you email your number so we can set up a time?
