Aloha from Hawaii! Just bought my first V20
Greetings everyone,
Just bought this 81 CC in Huntington Beach, Ca. As I type this, she is sitting at the Port of Honolulu waiting to be off loaded. http://www.boattrader.com/listing/19...-20--CC-364826 I spent months looking for a clean vessel to bring to the Island, I feel blessed to find this one. Probably overpaid but I swear its the cleanest used boat I have ever seen. Especially since its 32 years old. Had a Professional Marine Surveyor go through entire boat, all he could find was a very slight "flex" on the bow locker hatch. Anyway, love this site, seems like a great group of folks and Im looking forward to sharing the V20 experience with all of you.

With that sticker on the back of the engine its was almost as if it was destined to be in the islands
 Nice lookin boat! I had the same flex issues in both my lids. I doubled up two pieces of Starboard and problem solved. Best of luck with her!!!

as far as cost, my dad always told me if the only complaint you have about something is the price, you got a deal...

Haha...that's what I thought. Sticker is a clear sign from the boat gods. And, If you could post a pic of the deck lid fix, I would be most grateful.

Thanks for the reply Cam. We dive and fish so this rig will get a workout but, I still want to try to keep her as pretty as she is today.
