Hi everyone, I recently got a V20 1986 dualC

[hardboiled]

Hello everyone, this is my first post and im a new owner of a v20.

This is the 2nd boat i ever had, a year ago i had other V20 someone gave to me for Free without trailer, a v20 year 1973 with damage rusted inboard engine and pretty much everything else damage too,including the hull outside in under the front and the floor very soft and the transom soft also, first i started fixing it and spent over $200+ in products but then i found it was not worth fixing it anymore cause all the wood was rotten everywhere, so i got rid of it.

Now i bought this other boat the other day 1986 V20 with a damage 200hp mercury xri year 1992, the engine block has a hole on a side.

I dont know much about boats but im trying to learn, i never had a boat in operating condition before, this i believe will be my first if im able to fix it and find a good working engine, so if any can help me on this a little ill be grateful.

1.. i found that the floor under the captain chair side is rotten and soft, also in the front under the boat hull there is a scratch like the first year73 boat i had but not too severed so i believe some gelcoat will fix it.

Also i figured out the Transom was Cut to make it lower or something, im not sure if that is ok but i cant do anything about and i have to leave it the way it is. I will take some pictures tomorrow to show the boat in here to see if any of you can help me on this.

Another thing i found that this boat was posted here before on the forum sale section with a craiglist link
