I just got back from an all day striper fishing trip out into the Chesapeake Bay with a freind of mine and or sons. We totaled 56 miles on my gps. I just fueled up and I only burnt 20.5 gallons, lovi'n that! 2.7 miles per gallon Oh yeah we managed 3 keepers, nothing big but it was a wonderful...

I was wondering if Santa was good to everyone here. Momma and the kids bought me a new fishfinder, a color Raymarine DS400. I was a little concerned about the size at first, (thought the screen might be too small)but after looking for a good place to mount it....I'm glad it's not any bigger. I...

I finally got a day off to fish the Bay with a couple of buds. We caught a couple 38"-39.5" (20+ pounds). Nothing huge but definitly better than the 20" fish wev'e been catching in the rivers. We fish the James River Bridge at night when we need a quick fix or if the Bay is blown out. I'll see...

I forgot to tell ya'll about this. I was shooting out of Back River in Hampton, Va. this past Sunday when what do I see........................A V-20 coming my way. As we past each other port to port, we waved and shot each other a big thumbs up. Maybe it's just me but I think that's cool as...

Hey guys, I would like to get rid of my old power winch with wire and replace it with a new manual winch with a strap. What capacity would ya'll recomend. Thanks, Scott

Rap, I'm toying with the thought of putting a bow mounted trolling motor on my boat. What are the specs on yours: Shaft length: LB thrust: Voltage: Etc... My concerns are the time that I'm not using it. When I'm fishing in the Chesapeake bay, that things going to stay pretty darn wet. Will...

What do ya'll think of this. If I had the money, this would be the one for me. Everglades 211 CC. Check out the aft seating. Yeah I know it's not a V-20 but................................I'd be all over that thing. They are proud of them though, $40,000+ for a new one. Maybe one day...

I don't think she will ever be done, wiring, hull color, top etc.................... With that said, this phase of repair is complete. I just finished installing the recovered fuel tank panels, no more 76' yellow. Iv'e been using the boat and since then the production has slowed way down if ya...

The old girl makes a decent flats boat ya know. I went out with a buddy to do some speckled trout fishing this evening, fishing as shallow as 2.5 feet. I only managed 1 spec, but it sure is nice to be out on the water again.

Made a short trip out Sunday with the family. Went out to the beach with some freinds and their boats. Everthing went great. She's still not complete, but at least I got her wet by Labor Day (the boat that is ;))

Have any of ya'll tried to convert one of your deck boxes to a livewell on the older V-20's?

Well, and friend and I bolted up the motor yesterday. I got the Tilt/Trim unit bolted in. The same friend came over today helped me install the last two cleats. Labor Day weekend is coming quick. I told my wife to plan on going out on the boat one of those days with family. Anyway, here are a...

Well, I'm over the hump. I finally finished all the painting on the boat. Ive got a little bit of gelcoat repair to do on the transom. I just finished painting the nonskid areas Friday. It's getting to the point where things can start going back on/in. I'm going to try and post some before and...

Hey Guys, I was wondering what you guys with the older boats had for battery boxes, tie downs etc.... Iv'e got dual batteries but I don't have them secured or in boxes yet. They are located back aft on the ledges above the bilge box. Looking for some good ideas. Any help would be great...

Well, After many months of hard work Iv'e finally got some paint on the old girl. My next step is to come back and mask off the slick areas(around the deck hatches and perimeter) and paint the non-skid. The cockpit deck you see is still just primed.

Rap, I just got back from a test drive with a buddy on a boat he's looking to buy. The boat has a 2000 130hp Honda on it. I was amazed how quiet this thing was, awesome. My question is, the motor seemed to make a slight "whirling" noise in nuetral, the lady said that it has always made that...

Hey guys and gal, I made it back with all my arms and legs although I did managed a few permanent scars from the dear flies. I had a great time with my father and a couple of my uncles. It was a 14 hour drive to New Hampshire and another 12 to Temiscaming, Quebec. The fishing was great and the...

I saw this on THT this morning, looks like it could be a V-20. I guess no matter what kind of boat, it sucks.

Well, I didn't meet my Memorial Day goal (by a long way). The month long kitchen/den flooring project and the 12 hour work days put me way behind. I suppose it doesn't matter. Iv'e got most all of the stress cracks ground out and filled. I am lowering my standards a bit and have gone from...

I pulled the helm seat post off the deck the other day and to my suprise, there is a 3 inch(or so) hole in the deck under the center. The post doesn't require a hole. I was wondering if Wellcraft might have hidden a "inspection hole" there. There was no sealant around the base at all. It wasn't...
