Default I finally Joined!

Brought my 1987 V-20 home today. Boat is in amazing structural shape. Transom is solid, with the original aluminum cap completely in tact with no broken rivets. Deck is solid too. Boat is absolutely filthy. But the dirt cleans right up...all the teak will have to be done. As well as a new seat. But motor starts right up, and supposedly has very few hours on a fresh re-build. Has a full Bimini with the glass in front..looks like it was never used..and a Full mooring cover..this too looks like it was never on the boat.
Bottom has only a couple of layers of paint on it.

I have been looking all over for one, looked at many.

Won this on E-Bay...not bad for 2K with the year 2000 trailer included. Patience and hours on the internet do pay off.

I look forward to learning lots of things from you guys. I have had many boats...love finding them and fixing them back to excellent shape.

Will post some photos of how she cleans up...
Here are some exterior...you dont want to see how the inside looked...think super dirty..and then double it.

Welcome to the site.

The outside certainly looks nice and does sound like a great buy!

A picture of the inside would be interesting to see so we can view the before and after!

Best of luck

Hi
Welcome to the site. Great looking boat... I love eBay and Craigslist. Got my boat off of eBay also... took almost 6 months to get the one I wanted, but worth every minute of hunting. Looking forward to seeing some before and after shots.
