How about this MJ, in CT.

Looks good!! But I will have to wait till the spring to see what I have??

I have a friend that has a 1989 18' Starcraft Alum with a 1989 Merc 90 hp and trailer.

He bought everything new in 89, Motor has been great for him!! He did have the magnets on the fly wheel let go about 7 years ago and had to replace the stator and all.
The motor has now been sitting for 5 years with out running. Last time out the over heat alarm wentmoff, but it never over heated?? I was there and was going to tow him in, but there was no need. But that alarm screamed all the way in, 3 miles :o

The boat has a few leaking rivets, and a stress crack in the bow, I would have to remove the front deck and remove the gas tank, so the welder can fix itr.

He like to get $1000 for all?? I might do that and sell the V20??

everything is up in the air at this point.

I hate that for you MJ. I know how much you love the V20. Life is that way sometimes and sacrifices must be made. I had to sell the little boat I had (that I loved BTW) in order to put myself ahead in a newer lower milage truck. I feel your pain and wish you the best. ;)

This will be my first southern winter and I have to say I'm looking forward to it. Though the season won't officially end, I'll be painting the hull, fixing holes and painting topside...

My winterization plans are . . . non-existant. I will pull her out of the water around Dec 10, but only because we head North for Christmas for a week, and I won't get out on the water for the few weeks leading up to the holidays. If the weather is good in January, we'll launch then. Summers can be brutal in the South, but fall, winter and spring are wonderful. ;)

Dan, I still love your avitar.
