Pimp my V20

[Skools Out]

LOL I'll tell you guys what personally I think it's an ugly boat and def not a V20. If you guys want to take it out 40 miles i'll sit at the dock and once you get out of sight i'll call the USCG and tell them i think my friends in trouble he was last saw leaving the dock in a ugly drug runner looking dingy boat LOL.

Hey Tinman:

Not to feed the fire :-) but I have been 30 miles out in a panga in 6 footers - IMO spend your money elsewhere.

You said you wanted a shallow draft, CC for flyfishing. I know it's a project but there are gorgeous when complete. If you poke around the site you'll find some real beauties in the photo galleries. The guys down south just love them for the flats

This is what I stated my needs are on page 1 of this thread:

My needs are: Fly fishing friendly, handle 2-3' ers with no problem, able to sight fish the flats up North AND drift the rips, economical, easy to maintain and able to guide on.

No where did I state I'd be taking this boat 30, 40, 50 or a 1,000,000 miles offshore in 6+ footers???

I'm a professional Mariner, know how to monitor weather, taken more lifesaving, firefighting, navigation classes etc...etc... and think I'm pretty smart.

Show me a NEW (not some project)complete package boat that fits the above requirements for around $18k and I'm all ears.

No need to tell me about ALL the boats that have been around for years, believe me, I know about them already.

Let's not turn this thread into a bashing match. Gees, this thread started about a pimped out V20??

Tin i know you don't want a project but if you find a restored Sea Ox 1900, 2000, or 2100 they are shallow draft and can go out a fairly good ways. I've been 11 miles out off NC coast in a 1900 Sea Ox. It did really well. So i found one for me to redo as a Skiff /slightly Offshore. The guy that bought Sea Ox's molds is in Bridgeton, North Carolina area Tyndall Marine makes a 17, 18, and 19 i think.

Thanks skools...I've always liked the SeaOx's. Fished offshore many times on a 25' walkaround.

I don't see anything bigger than a 17' on tyndall's site???

edit: they do mention a 19' flats boat but don't see it.

he makes them call him and see what all he has he is a builder of all sizes i like how he has a high bow and low transom. they handle rough water well.

Aren't some of the older Mako's pretty shallow draft? Very similar to that Aquasport 222, if not the same exact hull?
