So, what makes you like these old boats?

I'll start the ball rolling here and probably open up a can of worms. I wouldn't let my insurance company know I've got 280 hp hanging on the transom. These boats are not rated for 280 outboard hp (200-235 in outboard configuration). I know, some guys will say their insurance company will write a policy, but just don't file a claim. Just my $.02 but with fuel costs, I'd run one 140 (4 cylinders would do well on gas) and have a great spare. The V20 is a great boat and you'll love it. There's tons of knowledge on this site and there's nothing somebody hasn't fixed, tried or done to them. Can't find a better site and bunch of guys.
