well basically , the boat is used for either Pin / Line boat(Start Line / Start line outer Pin) or Mark Set in Key West Race Week and what ever other regattas I get asked to help out in . The mods for that is primarily electronics . I have XM Weather , Wind Speed , Wind Direction, Doppler Speed and PAddle wheel speed and GPS speed for telling me the Direction and speed of current . all instruments are sailboat instruments from Northstar .and the other mods are for wakeboarding . Below deck and above deck water Ballast, Wake Tower,with all antennas an wind instrument on it .I still have to rewire the boat but since i have the quaint wire schematic from Welcraft that should only be a full day or 2 at the most to run new wire thru out the boat after that she has been completely restored

Welcome to the site!

This is just like when someone from another country joins the site.....I am glad you found us and look forward to hearing about things that are new and different to me, but I have no idea what you are saying.

haha , another country! thats funny ,La Bellle seems like it at times! But thank you for the warm welcome. I have owned her for the last year and she has been the best power boat (and the first for that matter) I have owned . Since im into alot of water borne activities , i needed a boat the would suit me . Off-Axis has been used in Key West Race Week by her previous owner for like 4 years while i ran a twin Vee 22 . I liked how this Little girl did in 6 to 8 foot seas ( did almost as good as the Twin Vee but a little wetter) so i decided to buy her and bring her back to her natural beauty of the C Raymond Hunt Hull that she is ( or I think thats who the actual NA was who drew her lines ), so the total list of activities she will be used for are Wakeboarding,Diving, fishing, regatta managment, and coastal gunk holing the west coast of florida and keys

This thread points out one of the strengths of the V-20...versatility!!...it'll be any kind of watercraft you need it to be...and you've certainly utilized it to your particular needs very well!!...

Mine is primarily set up for striper fishing the lakes around the SE...but w/a little time and add/remove hardware, she becomes a wakeboard boat my girls and their friends LOVE because of the wake...they say it's a challenge cuz the wake is so wide and high...at slow wakeboard speeds I can make her plow just a bit(tabs up and trim out) to create that effect for them to jump...

Post up some more pics of what yer doin w/your V...we love good boat-porn around here...LOL!!...

Awesome! With 1250 lbs of water ballast and we could probably use tabs . But the wake is sooo pretty and rampy. A pro wakeboarder friend of mine was doing Tantrum to Blinds with out an issue which i thought would be interesting with her. but again my and his ride speed is around 22MPH . The wake gets alittle narrower and makes for an easy wake to wake jump. Now the increase in wake size is relatively minimal . I think only like 3 or 4 inches . But the other reason for water Ballast was to offset the raise of the COG (Center of Gravity) caused by the tower. I have 2 550 lb tanks under the floor just outboard of the stringers at the front end of the Fuel Tank (which was replaced with a new one from the original manufacturer as the stock tank).
