Just thought i would ask. What is the furthest you have been in your V20? Personally, i have been 35 miles out in the Gulf, and add onto that about 10 miles to get the Gulf from the landing. So 45 miles each way. So 90-100 miles round trip for me. Took the entire 60 gallon tank, and the four 5...

I am selling the 18 Fisherman i planned to rebuild. Its a 1982 no motor no trailer. Every stringer is rotted and broke. Gas tank is full of holes. The liner was cut in half about two foot ahead of the splashwell. It does have a new transom though :sun: Main reason i am listing it here is for...

I am looking at a 1982 Wellcraft 18 Fisherman. No motor no trailer. What size shaft motor do i need for this? Also are these pretty decent boats?

I haven't got pics, will take pics when i get the boat home Monday. I am selling my 1983 Wellcraft V20 with a 1985 Johnson 150. Johnson just had the carbs cleaned, and a new trim motor installed. It needs 2 triggers for the stator, and i was told it has good compression but the steering shaft...

Today i went to run my 1985 Johnson 150 on a 6 gallon tank with fresh gas and it wouldn't run below 1000rpm. If i turn the choke knob it will run rough below 1000 rpm. When i hold the carbs open a little it will crank and run beautiful. I try to run this motor once a month on fresh gas with...

Seen these on eBay thought i would post here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROCKET-LAUNCHER-6-ROD-HOLDER-BOAT-BIMINI-TOP-69-79-/150649053754?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&vxp=mtr&hash=item231362223a I don't like the plastic rod holders though, maybe, they would be good for small rods. Certainly...

http://www.wxii12.com/r-video/29072421/detail.html My first question is, how the hell did that boat get in that predicament?

Me and Dad were sitting at the Navy Point boat ramp yesterday after his doctors appointment. We saw a Pro-Sports Catamaran coming in slow but throwing roostertails. We couldn't see the other engine so we figured they burnt an engine out. Once they got closer we could see something big in the...

I saw this on the local craigslist. It looks like it has a V20 Bow. $6000 is high imo. Seems like a really nice boat to me. It probably could use more steel in the bow pulpit. :you: http://pensacola.craigslist.org/boa/2544824132.html

I installed my new motor for the power trim and tilt on my 1985 Johnson 150. Fill it with fluid and cycled it up and down after bleeding it. A few minutes ago i hit the button and trim tilt fluid comes spraying out the hole where the manual relief valve is on the mount. What will it take to fix...

I just ordered my trim tilt motor for my 85 Johnson 150. Getting ready to install it, is there anything i need to watch out for? I assume i just bolt the new motor on and top off the trim tilt fluid i lost. Correct? I cleaned some paint chips out that fell into the hole today and the filter and...

I fished the Outcast Mega Shark Tourney this year with Captain Jim, and Todd. We put together a trip on the local fishing forum. We fished it in a late 70's Silveton 32 Baha Hunter powered by twin 425hp V8 454s. Friday night was a bust, Captain was about to have a heat stroke, gulf was slick...

I saw this on a link from a local forum. Thought i would post it here. Seems like a good idea to me. http://www.texaskayakfisherman.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=113816 Here is another good one. Pic 2 http://www.hobiecat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=35075

I need to lift my 1985 Johnson 150 outboard off the transom to get access to the last bolt in the tilt motor. Problem is there is no lifting eye like on my Yamahas(they call them "engine hangers"). Whats the best way to rig it? I was thinking of going under the cylinder heads with a strap. The...

Went to jack the motor up another hole today and hit the trim button and got nothing. Got power to the black box according to my test light,when i hit the button i hear click. Wont go up and wont go down. Tried jumping the contacts and got nothing but a click. Will it ever end with this motor...

I am looking for another prop for my Johnson and i found Pro-Pulse props made out of a composire material and also the pitch can be changed on the water. West wants $200 for one 14.5"x 15-21 pitch. Has anyone used these props? Are they worth the money?

I took my V20 out today for the first time since may. Engine is a 1985 Johnson 150, Top speed was exactly 30.0 mph at 4500 rpm with the engine trimmed all the way up. I ran a 6 gallon tank of gas/oil and a full can of seafoam till it got to low to run. On that six gallon tank with about an...

On my 1985 Johnson 150, i tried to run it today but it would not run because i believe it has no spark. Last time I ran it was in early May. Since then i have cut the triangular trim and tilt plug off and straight wired the trim and tilt in the gunnel because it was corroded, fixed a wire for...

My vhf went out on my boat and the antenna is broken from the previous owners. I have a 14' antenna from my Sportsman but its way too big to put on a V20. I want to go snapper fishing in my V20 before snapper season goes out. How good are handheld VHF radios? What kind of range can i expect? I...
