Remember this classic?

As little as I use my trailers, the tires always end up with dry rot before they're even close to wearing out. The boat trailer sits outside exposed to all weather conditions. Would the tires not dry rot if the trailer was jacked up so that they weren't on the ground?

Measured my v-berth on the way to work this morning and as I told Skycopper above his won't work for my boat. Cuddy is 62.5" forward to rear, and 67" wide at its widest. I would think yours would work for me. I can't imagine Wellcraft changing the cuddy dimensions from '83 to '85. Let me...

My cuddy from the forwardmost point to the door is 62.5" and the width at the widest point is 67", so these won't work for my V-20. And your cushions come more to a point whereas mine are more of a wide, flat "point." I guess the V-21 has a slightly longer berth with the increased length of...

Wow, suddenly I have prospects on not one but two sets of v-berth cushions! Yours being an '85 V-20 they should be the same as my '83 I would think. Thanks, I will let you know! By the way, that top looks like the one that was on our boat when we first got it. Lasted a long time, but when it...

Thanks! Those are gorgeous. I will measure what I currently have tomorrow and compare. I wouldn't think they'd be much different but who knows.

Nice! Are the v-berth cushions for a 21 the same size as for a 20? Because I really could use some new ones!

Crazy weather today. Half of my family is under Winter Storm Warnings or Blizzard Warnings or Wind Advisories (they're all up north) and we're expecting a cold front today that could bring hail and tornadoes. 🤪

Are most newer boats in the 20 foot range set up with 2 batteries? Having had the Pipe Dream for so long with its 2-battery setup I was just wondering if that's still the most common arrangement.

1983. Back then she was pushed along by a 155 Johnson commercial engine. The Miracle Motor -- it lasted 20 years. Bottom right in pic 2 is an outboard on my buddy's Whaler.
