Hey everybody!
I've got a 1983 V-20 Steplift and the doors to the bow have just fell apart! Also, the door to the battery compartment is in bad shape too. Any ideas on how to replace these without spending a fortune? I thought of soild teak boards but MAN!! are they expensive. Thanks for any input. KellerKid Richmond Hill, Georgia |

Keller, are you talking about the folding doors to the cuddy? *Then yes, definitely starboard would be the least costly way to go. *As far as the hatch, I found a great replacement a few years ago, a very close fit to the original (just a little larger) that worked fine. *I got it at West Marine or Boater's World, I forget which.
And welcome to v20.com! *;D |

Welcome to the site, Kid
I had canvas covers made for the front hatch and the rear battery access door. you can take them off and have full access into the area's and yes your right i cant lock them but if someone wants in bad enough they will get in and cause more damage... Just dont leave anything in the front hatch during storage.The bi-fold door up front really cuts down on the width opening and i am XXl and the extra room to get up front and have access to the batteries works for me. Just have enough snaps put on to hold it while under power. 5 snaps each side and 2 snaps each top and bottom . Zero maitenance on the canvas unlike teak... My guy charged me $25 for each piece...

Welcome to the site.
Most any marine supply and internet, however the shipping will eat you alive. Post where you are located and some of the guys on the site might know a place near you. Another option is to use cutting board material (Sams, Wal-mart, etc), personally I like the idea of canvas.

Allright Zebra what's going on with the seat box?
Where did it come from and don't give us any crap "it came with the boat". ;D

Hey Zebra, do you have a side shot of your dash? Did you have to make any modifications to the sides to get your dash to sit at that angle?
Looks nice, I likeitalot... ;)
