1984 V20 Upgrade Santa Barbara

[DustyCajun]

New member here. Me and my buddy Hoober were out having a few beers at a local German pub in Santa Barbara a month ago and decided to go check out a 1984 V20 Steplift cuddy cabin that was for sale at the harbor. One look at the hull and the wide open fishing platform in the stern and we’re off to his house to get some cash! Beers and boat buying, what can you say!

The boat was used by the Santa Barbara Sailing Club as a race spotter, thus the huge S B S C letters on the hull.

It was a dirty, oily, greasy mess with about 20 pvc tubes mounted everywhere to hold race flags.

We have been spending the last 4 weekends getting her ready for spring fishing in the Santa Barbara Channel. Sanded off the letters and cleaned up the hull. Have not had the time to get to the bottom paint, that project is on hold.

Can't figure out how to get more than 5 images on here, so will post more on reply.
