Considering a V20 as a first boat! What to look for?

Newboater, do your due diligence on this boat like phat said and maybe you'll do well. If after those steps it checks out ask the seller for a test run. For that price if you get a solid hull you're doing okay, and if the engine gives you a few seasons you're doing really well. These are great old boats and if you find a solid one you can pretty much keep it for life. I've been in mine for close to 30 years.
