Dont get me wrong, it looks lik an awesome project...just have V-doubts.

Sure smarter people will chime in!
Rite I was a little unsure too. Looked kinda like a Dusky but the front bow and the little chines are like a V with the wide front bow. Has small turn down on the rubrail. The inside looked like a MAKO inner tub.

I think it might be a Police boat from Bimini saw a similar one on the web.

So where are the experts around here? I guess I will have to go with V till we know more the hull looks like a V wonder if they took another CC & clipped the cabin off it.
And made some crazy lookin Dusky MAKO Whaler V carolina Allmand Skiff

Well anyway we can wait for the experts. The MAKO guys said it was a V20 so I am here for awhile. If you guys will have me = LOL

Lot of good info on here. I am sure will apply to the restoration Process.

I will check for better pictures.

I have had more Wellcrafts than any other boat so far. 3 and this one.
First center console.

What is the HIN? (hull identification number)

It has to be a Wellcraft V20. If it is not, then It was pulled from a V20 mold and another sticker slapped on it. Right now I have two tabs open and toggling between the pics of your boat and my boat, I can spot no differences in the strakes aka "steps", the only difference I see is your hull does not have such a curve in the rubrail line about midways. I am going by the outside hull only, not the cap.

That is what I was going by the chines in the bow the Hull is a V for sure, seems like the top has a few differences in the rubrail & no distinct midway rise.

My personal opinion is that I have never seen a Mako with the much flair in the bow. It has to be a v20. There are definitly some mods done to the stern, you can tell by the way the rubrail comes to an imediate stop at the transom and does not return to the transom also the back exterior " transom rail" looks like its been glassed on. And also look at the way the cap/liner does that offset at the transom.

Union laker, look real close at the transom and in key places in the back and see if you can see where she's been glassed and faired maybe some imperfections in the glass work will tell a story.

Welcome to the site!

Sure looks like a V-20 hull...and definately looks like a home made transom...to me anyway.

The 3 button trim switch is from the 70's.

Thanks everyone for all the welcomes & info.

When I saw Crackers Hull I knew I was home.
At least we found out that it is V20 Hull! I will try to get more inside picts of it.
Was there anyone that they sold the Hulls to for custom I/O Center Consoles?


I am having trouble with photobucket Firefox disabled all my add ons.

I have a bunch of other picts of the transom and floor layout.
