First Boat, Wellcraft v-20
Hello everyone,
I started my search for a boat a few months ago and right away i found a v-20 for sale locally, fell in love with the hull and started perusing this website, lots of great info. I usually fish on a 36' henriques or a 31' Grady White, so I'm used to boats, bigger boats, but not used to owning. Think i got a great deal, Johnson outboard runs great...once it starts, and the boat is ideal for what i got it for, trailering it down to Raritan bay to fish. Changed lower unit oil, tilt and trim fluid, put some additives in the gas and took her out for the first time last weekend on the Hudson, went great very happy with it. two days after i bought it I saw a guy down the street from me had the same boat! Funny how you notice things after the fact looking forward to modifying it to my liking, but have a very solid platform to start from. Thanks for all the help already! Garret

Congrats on choosing arguably one of the most capable all around hulls for the money. Also this site is full of knowledge for just about anything you'd want to do, and most of all some great people. Lots of members in your area.

Welcome aboard. You're in good company, quite a few members are here in New Jersey, and since you're launching in the Raritan Bay you're likely to see a few of them from time to time. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you're not sure of something, cause there's a lot of knowledge floating around here and we like to share.
