Awesome! I will be building mine from pizza wages. The only thing really worrying me is electronics. But first I need to modify my garage. I have posts in the center. Builing beams to replace them then I can get the V in there. First I have to find motivation to clean it out lol.

Jason don't sweat electronics because you have a long time to search and find decent electronics at a good deal. I was sweating just like you in the beginning about things that were 10 to 12 months down the road. Things just seem to pop up trust me. Check Craigslist list every night, you mind find something you will need for the boat but will not need it till later in the build and when you do need it its double the cost.

Very impressive work - it's likely to be a fantastic rig when you're done.

Over the next few weeks I want to go boat "shopping". I would like to go ahead with a hull extension of 2-4'. Cut some off the cuddy, and build an enclosed pilot house center console. Something like the Everglades and Boston Whalers. I have a feeling I might be getting kicked off some boat lots for not looking at boats to buy them. I need to design something completely enclosable for cold weather.

Not doing a hull extension, just too much work for me.
Cleaning out the garage. Ugh. My garage has posts down the middle supporting the roof. Leaves me 116" between post and wall. My V20 is 96" at her widest and 86" at the stern. Going to be a tight fit with the posts. Contemplating building 2x12 beams so I can take the posts out. Oh and this thing is full of spiders. I hate spiders.....

Mj that was my plan but no middle column. Instead I turned the V20 around on the trailer with the bow pointing backwards and backed it into my garage. Now the stern is facing the garage door and I do not have to walk all the way around to get in. Seems like a good plan so far.

Been busting foam out. I used a trenching shovel and got 3/4 of the foam out in about an hour. Getting ready for work so had to call quits for now. The V has blocks under the stern and one about 8' back from the bow. Also have screw jacks on each side at this locations for stability. Need to add more blocking before I tear the stringers out. Hopefully I can avoid a hook this way.
