Lookin good there boss. That's a roomy 21. What's the beam?

8'6" and 8' at the transom.

That's cool stuff... I'd never have the nerve to tackle somethin like that.

Got one stupid question.

If the hull's on "blocks", how in the heck to ya get it on a trailer? I can already picture myself with a handfull of neighbors tryin to "horse it on over" or somethin rediculous like that.... just curious...

Cool project!!

easier than you thing first wet down the trailer rollers or bunks and then get the trailer lined up on the boat straight and hook the wench to the boat. then get a jack once the trailer touchs the boat and jack the boat in the center jut behind the blocks till it will start on the trailer. then put the truck in neutral and let the wench pull the trailer under the boat. works best if the boat is tied to a tree in the rear or something. It is actually very easy and taking them off is too. Just tie the back to something and drive the trailer out about 4 ft then block the back then drive the rest till it's almost off the trailer and jack the front up slightly the block it off the trailer.

Or in my garage i just lift them by the bow eye and the transom eyes on the boats. with comalongs from the roof.

skool, a buddy of mine had a 21 Cont.,center console as I recall it was quite a sturdy boat. It was a bit underpowered... when he bought it it had a 140 Mariner. Once on plane it went pretty good and it was a pretty comfy ride. Good luck w/ your project

thanks I'm going to put a 225 Johnson on the boat. it had a 120 Evinrude but wasn't enough. I'm trying to get this on done so it will be ready to be sold come spring. Then next the old 19' Sea Ox. I'm currently looking at buying a 26' Marothon boat how are they? Any idea out there. It's a cheap buy and it only needs a new home but i want it to buy use this fall and sell next spring. Still got to keep the ol V20 . Hope to start on the 250 Sea Ray after i finish the Sea Ox. So many boats so little time lol.

Hey Skool, I know what you mean about "so many boats". Remember those two I had sittin under cover when you came to my house? I sold em on eBay last week. I ended up taking $1500 for the pair, which I was very happy with. Now, I'm down to 2 boats - one V20 and one V21. Just need somebody to buy the V20, and I'm all set.

Hey here's some flare for you. That's a 34 ft over grown V-20. I hope to start building a boat like that soon. I'll let you know when i'm done if anyone wants one i may build a few to sell.
