Forget polishing -  I have a hard enough time just keeping my boat clean. Boat gets parked under a few trees in my yard.  Have a mooring cover to keep the cockpit clean -  but havent gotten a tarp for the rest yet.  (I know I know - get a plastic tarp for cover !!) Leaves, pollen, bird crap...

Hey guys - I grabbed the camera on my way out to plow some driveways this morning ... and took some pics of the sleeping V's. As strange as it may sound - I actually really enjoy when it snows alot. 1988 in the middle of restoration (shown wearing a prime coat all over) 1986 Photos from...

Cfelton's post about Yes/No for the Bowrail -  prompted me to ask.   What technique does everyone use to anchor ??   I personally havent anchored much in my boating life ... until a few years ago when I started Blackfishing.  What I've been doing  .. is climbing out onto the deck to drop the...

I dont have a fishfinder / GPS .... and been looking for a while now. I noticed a thread at THT - Boaters World is selling at their show booth (Annapolis, MD) the Lowrance 111c-HD for $999. I know its kinda big (overkill) for the V20 - but that is one heck of a price. Regular price ~ $2000...

Boat is a 1986 and has the original "concealed" sidemount control arm.   You know -  the kind which is just the throttle/shift arm ...  the choke and key switch is on the dash.   It's a little weather-beaten and I have access to a brand new unit for a good price.   How hard would it be to...

Guys, I have to replace rusted fenders on my tandem axle trailer. I found some new fenders for $45 a piece - just the right size and just 20 min down the road from me. But, they are bare steel. No paint or galvanize on them. What would be the best way to protect them ??? I have some...

Guys, Might anyone know -  do these V20's use an anti-syphon valve on the fuel tank ???   I just picked up another V20 -  1986 cuddy -  with a 2003 150 Johnson.   I am having a problem with the primer bulb going soft and the engine not getting gas.  Motor will stall out.   If I go back and...

In case anyone is interested - I saw this ad in the May 31 edition of the Boat Trader. A 1984 center console with trailer but NO motor. Hull in good condition. Asking $1950. In Old Saybrook, CT. 860-227-0476.

OK guys -  has anyone done, or thought, about doing this.  My boat is a 1988 ... and in the floor ....  has a livewell/storage forward between the seats .... the gas tank mid-ways .... and a 3' section at the back of the boat .. between the gas tank and the splashwell.   This 3' area is dead...

Hi Guys, I am restoring an '88 V20 and could use some advice. 1) the transom hatch covers.  I have removed the existing hardware which keeps the lids closed ... and after the boat gets painted .. figure I will use a different method of hardware.  Can I get away with no securing latch ?  If not...

All, My '88 V20 came with no door for the large live-well / storage area in the floor. I have to make one - and figure I will use the Seaboard stuff. But, I also plan on re-surfacing the floor as well. So my question is - what can I do to the Seaboard ... if I want to paint it to match the...

FYI - just wanted to share some of my restoration pics ... now in the gallery. Stripping the boat went fast. I am now removing all bottom paint ... and its going reeeaaaallll slowwwwww.

Guys ..... I need an engine for my 88 V20 restoration and have been looking for a while now. I currently have 2 possibilities I am considering - which would you choose ? 1 - a 2004 my "new in box" 150 Yamaha carb model (no prop, controls, etc - just engine) and probably with no warranty as I...

Just wondering: I am in the middle of tearing down my V20 .... and considering all the fixes I want to make. One thing I am getting too old for ... is banging my knees on the gunnel as the boat rocks while fishing. For all the upgrades I have seen at this site - I havent seen padding yet on...

Hi, Was wondering if someone might be able to help out with a concern I have.  I am restoring an '88 outboard model V20.  This probably seems odd ... but I am toying with the idea of closing the transom notch and adding a bracket.  I really LOVE the full transom deal.  Not even sure if this is...
