Found Some Old Pictures

Prior to discovering the V20, I had a late 60s Thunderbird...a 17'er w/a 140 Evinrude...I LOVED this boat

Nick and I took this thing 35 miles offshore one day, caught some fish off a wreck and came back in...ran into some hi seas 5 miles off and really battled our way in...I remember a wave coming over the windshield, taking my hat off my head...but she got us in OK...
Good on gas (somehow) w/an '84 V6 140 Rude...I fitted a 25 gal plastic tank under the cuddy and never had the feeling of too much weight or any other negative and never ran close on fuel supply...looking back, I would think she'd be a real gas hog. The only reason I wanted another boat was space...striper fishing around here requires a large bait tank that just took up too much space in the 17'er's hull...

Enter the first V20...this was taken in early '99...I hadn't had the '74 for long, but had cut the bow rail and mounted the elec trolling motor for pulling live bait...

The first Reelapeelin...ran the '86 Gas Suckin' Rude til she puked in '04 and then stuck the Honda 150 on her...LOTS of family and friends good times, fishin', skiiing, fresh and saltwater...towed to FL, NC coast, TN, GA and all over SC...she REELY got around over the 11 years I had her...Great memories of both these boats...
