Hello; A friend has a 1989 Mako 220 walk around for sale. Powered with a 2000 Merc 225 EFI OB. Does anyone have any experience with this hull design/boat and how it may compare to the v20? Thanks.

Trying to sell my v20. 1987 Wellcraft V20 Steplift with 205 HP, 4.3 liter V6 Mercruiser, 627 hours. I am the 2nd owner of this boat, having purchased it in 2002 with 490 hours on the meter. This is a well built, solid, proven design ideal for lake fishing & cruising. Boat is sold with the...

As usual, just before school starts, my son & I head out looking for a salmon or two. We had luck early this morning. Got to try out some new to me electric downriggers. Beats the old hand cranks.

I may have to look at this one. Pics are on the way, I will post when they arrive. What do you think? http://rochester.craigslist.org/boa/415554082.html

Went trolling for salmon last week. My son had a great night, boating his first 3 ever. Perfect weather & a perfect night. ( I like this picture thingy.)

Battery Setup Looking for a little feedback for my new wiring plan. My v20 is a 1987 with a 205 Mercruiser. When I got the boat it had two new group 24 deep cycle batteries connected together with one of those Off-1-all-2 switches. Last year, I started having issues with the batteries always...

This guy was wandering around town most of the day today until they made him sleepy and hauled him back to the woods. First moose I have ever seen outside of the zoo.

I have two batteries connected to a switch that has A, B, ALL and OFF positions. How do you set the switch under normal conditions? Do you alternate between A & B everytime you use the boat to keep the use/charge consistent between the batteries or do you run it on the ALL setting? Thanks.

Getting ready to install disc brakes on a tandem axle trailer. If I only put brakes on one axle, does it matter if its the front or rear axle? Thanks.

Not trying to open a can of worms here, but I have a few questions regarding a new trailer: Here are my thoughts about what I need; Tandem axle, 5000lb capacity, surge type disc brakes, and bunks. Fresh water use, NY state. Now the hard part, Galvanized or Aluminum. Someone in the archives...

I came across this one today. Its a few hours from my home. I am not in the market so here is a link for anyone interested: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4559543992&category=63726

Hey there guys, I am going to make one more plunge into the wallet this year & get a new top made for my 88. I am looking at a style similar to Franco's; clear and/or smoked vinyl off the windshield up to standing height & then the standard bimini with side curtains. I will make provisions for...

My 88 V-20 needs the stripes along the waterline replaced. There are three stripes, black, red & dark red. Does anyone know where I can get replacements for these? Thanks again.

I am in the process of a rehab on my rod boxes. So far I have stripped out the hardware & refinished it with Cetol Light. As for the boxes themselves, I have sanded with 180 & washed them down. Next step is to repair the cracks around the flanges and paint them. Questions: I checked the...
