Not sure how it happened but that is a deal breaker. I will continue searching. I wish Bob (the owner/seller) the best and I hope he gets her back to where she belongs and finds a good home for her.

Since then I have found another boat. I hope this doesnt get me banned. Its not a v20 nor is it a wellcraft. I am looking at a 1985 regal 21ff with a yamaha 2000 from 1995. Newly rebuilt. Its a walk around cuddy deal. Do you guys know anything about those Regals. I could not find to much about them on the web. Unfortunately they dont have the same following that wellcraft does.

Thanks again

Sounds like teh risers are shot and got her hot to me. Just be thankful it happened BEFORE you bought it. As for teh REGAL, I wouldn't rate it very highly for fishing, but they make a good cruiser type boat. What exactly are you after in a boat?

I have the same opinion as everyone else that's commented. I'm not a Regal fan. Hell, I even had a 21 footer a while back that I took in trade. Sold it in less than a month. To me they are just like Bayliners. Cheaply made. Keep looking.

What I am looking for in a boat is a little of everything. My family loves the outdoors and we love the water. Also exploring is fun. So in short we will cruise, we will fish, we will tube for my young ones and also camp. Topping the list would be fishing and cruising looking for something to get us into trouble. We are really excited about getting something we can call our own where as before with the boat club we were limited. Since we are not rich (yet) finding something in our budget that fits our demands is a bit challenging. Correct me if I am wrong but it seems that the v20 with a cuddy will just about handle everything we want with relative ease.

Thanks Again
