Greetings!

I recently purchased a 1984 V20 Steplift CC from my brother-in-law. It has a rebuilt 470 mercruiser (2 years ago) and a new trailer ($3k) 3 years ago. I know my brother-in-law always took excellent care of the mechanics. It also has radar, an older garmin chart plotter, radio, fish finder and a recently new bimini (with windows). I paid $5k for it, which I think is a decent deal, but I get free “tech support” for life.

Before this boat, I had a catalina 22 sailboat. The sailboat just was not for me and my aging body, so I sold that to my son-in-law.

I had it out twice now in buzzards bay, had a great day of fishing yesterday (albeit I only caught a 10 pound Blue). It was nice to be able to launch the boat by myself (don’t have to take the wife with me if you know what I mean). This picture (which I hope works) is when we returned (I know the fender and the forward dock lines are out of place).

I have been reading for forum here and appreciate all the great info!

This is now my favorite toy!

Thanks

Dave

I live in Middleboro, I spent my summers as a kid in Wareham (agawam beach area).Yestarday I used a boat ramp in Fairhaven to cut across the bay. I am also thinking about using the tempest knob ramp as it is closer to home.

Thanks for the welcomes!!!!

Yes, I saw that. I was hoping that he was too busy trying to change his pedestal (which I was also thinking about doing).
