I know i m showing my age, but i miss the teak accents also.

That is a great deal if u want that boat

Correct, it is carbed. That is a great year engine. High corrosion resistance and durable. I had the same exact prop, Vengence.....boat is a time capsule if ever there was one.

Wow thatsa gem ,now what I don t like is the molded seat base on both side
My 78 has more fishing room. One seat at the helm a cooler for fish and bait and to sit on. My deck is open,plenty of room. But I love that boat, actually I love all the V20 I wish they made that V20 in a excact replica in 25 feet. But that sweet V21 is beautiful. Only second to my 1978. Mine is number 1.$14800.00 that is not going to last long. I just have one more thing. Im looking at the V21 and that design hull is the best,much better than the boats today. It;s like a 67 vet. Sure the new ones are faster but that older one has flavor and class.

And it’s still available? If I needed a boat,it would be parked in my driveway as we speak. Looks like a great deal.
Maybe these people want a 4 stroke but me, hell no I want a 2 stroke. I guess I’m in the minority. I love my 2 stroke.

I bet he would let her go for $10000,00
People say. It’s a 1996. Almost 30 years old ,but it’s a classic and in great shape. Think about this,how many 30 year old boats are still out there running? I bet not many but this one shows the workmanship and beautiful lines. You can’t just go out and buy a boat like that today. Someone’s going to get a great boat.

I agree Step, wonder if there s more to the story. I noticed the registration sticker is 2021.

2 strokes are banned on a lot of lakes

Who knows

Dave, I emailed that guy and never got a response!

Thoughts …..

1. If in condition expected, it’s close to essentially a new boat .
2. If outboard in condition expected, it’s a very solid set up
3. Throw in the solid trailer plus assorted

To me, hell of a great opportunity for the money as condition is the key to value.
Can’t easily touch a rig like this and all it offers .
Again - condition makes it the very rare and unique opportunity.

Dave and I in “same boat “ on this one .

Any of you guys want to “ set the clock back to 1996” and pick up what’s likely a true barn find minus the dust this may be it.

It’s now, or maybe never for you V lovers
