There's no denying that whoever did it did a first class job. Super pretty and nicely done appointments... I'd tip my hat to him any day of the week.

But, underneath all that the hull is still over 40 years old. The sun and UV rays take there toll on everything, including fiberglass. Now, I have no idea how much strength the fiberglass has lost in 40 plus years, but.... Well, you get what I'm trying to say. Plus, like Phatdaddy just said, in 6 months it would look like my present boat. (Good looking, but not show quality).

In all cases, whoever buys it will get a hell of a pretty boat.

It's custom Phat, I put one in mine and mounted my batteries and a forward bilge pump in there. Got the idea from you. Gonna try to attach a picture, wish me luck.

Says upload failed again, hate technology.

I'll say this, that is a beautiful boat, but since having mine looking jam up it's always on your mind to keep her clean, try not to scratch, etc. My next one I'm gonna paint with rustoleum and a foam roller and call it a day.

That boat is a heck of a deal for someone who appreciates the work, time, etc it took to bring her to that condition and has the funds to hang some decent new or late model power on her.

Given that a solid used carb'd outboard can be found for around $ 2,500.....if I was in the market, and this boat was truly solid - floors, transom, cuddy etc, it's a heck of a nice opportunity.

That boat looks beautiful.

I didn't bother with AC Boat show this year........but we know new in this size typically $ 30,000 - $ 50,000.

I own mine for about 20 years and don't even think about selling or trading her for a new boat, I was looking at a 23 Parker at the fishing show in nj and sure she's clean, new shinny, but it still like mine better and have a heck of a lot more fishing room

We were at the marina over the weekend working on the Bertram. Eddie came by to say hi and let me know that his boat was for sale. I told him that someone had posted it up on the V 20 website. He said he would sell it with or without power. I guess if he keeps the Etec he will buy a second motor to match it for his new boat.
