Hate to do it, but....for sale...

I’m thinking of selling my 1986 V20. The last 3 seasons or so I haven’t used it much at all, not by choice, just not enough time anymore. The boat was purchase by me when I joined this site in April 2005, can’t believe it’s been 13 years. This rig has been wonderful. As mentioned 86 cuddy Hull , 25” transome, which is solid, as are the floors, deck and everywhere else. Motor is a 1992 V-6 150 looper that has been great all these years, my estimate is that it has approx 500-600 hrs and runs like a champ. It started to run a little rough 2seasons back so I replaced most of the ignition related parts and rebuilt the carbs (w new float bowls) all parts OEM. Since all that I’ve used it probably 4/5 times...runs awesome. The hull is very clean, shines “close” to new, interior is just as nice, padded pedestal at the helm, original light blue back/back fold down seat, no rips no tears. I’ve got two Bimini tops, one of which has the full encloser which is in near perfect condition. It’s perfect for those chilly late October/November bass trips. All the teak is good, looks nice.i refinished it all 5-6 years ago. I keep boat covered all the time when not in use, and with its limited use,it still shows well. Single axle trailer, newer winch, bran new tires w maybe 3miles on them, new battery, it’s a dual battery set up but I’ve only used one this last year (dual purpose) 17” aluminum prop w a 15” spare. She runs about 40 so says gps...she’s basically bone stock as far as electronics....a working old school hummingbird fish finder, trim gauge, windshield wiper, tach, gas gauge has power to it but pins to “Empty” when turned on, there is a horn but I don’t think it works, interior lights in cuddy, nav light and running lights are good. 1000 gal/hour bilge pump on a switch w auto float. The only thing I never liked about this boat is that it was in a slip from original owner, bottom had been painted but it only appears to have one coat on it, kinda hoping that after all my years of my ownership it would eventually wear away. If you wanted to make an afternoon out of it, it would sand down easily w just one layer, that is one unholy task and never wanted any part of it....when it sits in the water u can’t see it lol....I’m still as computer dumb as when I joined this site, I can emai/text pictures but more than likely won’t be posting pics on the wellcraft site, shoot me a pm, or call 516 220 1428.....btw, boat is in Long Island, NY, if you travel, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks guys.

Sorry to hear you selling, but sounds like a great V20 for a great price.

Thanks Bradford, it is a nice boat, not mint showroom like lumberslingers dually, but not to far off...waaay better than average condition for a 32 yo boat, she’s only had two owners in her life and original owner took good care of it too...and it shows.

Hmmm, I’m hearing nothing but crickets...I guess the V20 for sale market is kinda soft as we approach the fall season here in the northeast...hopefully I’ll get a few bass outings on her, until then she is still for sale

Bump to an older for sale thread...she’s still winterized and still for sale

Nothing sells a boat faster than a test ride. Just sayin....

Rodger that Destroyer....if I had an interested buyer she’d be ready. In my former life cover would have been off a month ago. It’ll be ready if I get a few calls***128077;

Not sure what that***128077; thing is must have hit a few buttons by mistake

The site seems to be doing that. A few times when someone has shown my post inside their response, it has changed some of my words into that gibberish. This is the first time I’ve noticed it doing that with the text in an original post.

Anyone more tech savvy have an idea what’s going on?
