Slihgty Twisted and his Dad made they 1000 mile trip to get the boat today!! I was hoping he would not be disapointed and he was not!! They are great people and I am glad it is staying in the V20 family, he really kied it.
All went well getting her ready to go, except for the left trailer light, I hate lights!! But I took them to a near buy Autozone and they were trying to get the light going when i left them.
Just called them and he is in PA. All is going well and they got the light working!
Good Luck Guys!!

Wow what a trip! We left Indiana Saturday about midday, drove straight through to cape cod getting there about 4am. Slept in the truck for a few hours before heading over the MJ's. On our way to MJ's house we see a v20, slam on the breaks well this is it. There was all around it. Trash bags stacked up the the hull, leaves, and everything you can think of piled on the boat. My frist thought was oh man this is going to be a long day. We get out to walk around the boat and something just didn't seem right, I didn't realize it wasn't MJ's house until we get a nasty look from the house, and the engine is not a sea drive. OH damn it wasn't MJ's house or boat, we jump back in the truck the whole time being watched from the house. MJ's house was a 1/4 mile down the street. This was WAY better no piles of trash, the boat looked clean, and stored properly. MJ got there we talked for a while went over the boat and I was really impressed. We got to work changing the tires and getting her ready for the 1000 mile ride.
MJ is one hell of a guy, with all that is going on with him he was so positive. It just rubbed off the us, I just hope it starts to turn around for him!!! His family was so nice as well we got to meet his grandchildren. After snapping a few pics we headed off to the auto parts store to get a trailer taillight, and we were off!
The way home went perfect took about 17 hours. Got in at 530 am and I was at work on time!!

Thanks again for everything MJ!

It is kind of karma.

In 2011 ish I gave my center console to Smokeonthewater.
Smoke was the first to speak up and post that this boat should go to MJ.
Now MJ gave the boat to me.
