Hi guys, My name is Abel, I live in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I've been searching the huge amount of knowledge you guys have built. the fact that you all have put this site together is remarkable. Great to see this hull has such a following.
I kind of inherited a 1979 v20 I/O cuddy. Not sure what engine is in it, just that it's a V8. I got a chance to check it out more today and bought a Die Hard to crank it over. Isn't getting any fuel to the carb. Posting some pics of it. Not in great shape, but feels solid.





 
Welcome Abel, good to have you on board. I think few other hulls have the classic lines, seaworthyness, and versatility of the V-20 hull and are readily available to the average joe. Look forward to seeing your progress with your new V!

P.S. NOW THATS WHAT YA CALL A DIVE PLATFORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LORD MAN!!!!!!!!
 
Yea, that platform is crazy but, nice. I've been out on it once ,before we inherited it, and it really ads room for people to spread out. Now, to the A/C in there...I have no idea. It was bought that way. Maybe if you had a really quiet and portable propane generator it could be useful...to freeze you out. What's really funny is they used romex run to the transom (along with about 35 other single conductor wires) for 120AC. I guess being from Louisiana I should understand that if you give some coonass a welding machine, boat and an air conditioner that it could turn into a monster, but it still confuses me.

Good to see a fellow La resident. This forum never ceases to amaze me. Crawfish have been a little high this year. We've only had two boils so far. We can't wait till after Easter when prices go down. Lastnight we had a boil for a rehearsal dinner, but nobody has seen the boat yet. I hope to get it running for some trials by May. I'm looking to get to the first rigs to do some fishing this summer. Seems I've gained some extra friends at work when I explain the boat...everyone wants to go fishing
 
Well you know your a Red Neck when you use house wire and 110 air to cool off a 10 cubic inch box, and add a deck off the back of a 20 foot boat!

Or was that you know when you are homeless when.............. O heck pass another beer, I want to be the first to use the 2nd floor to pee from!!:you:
 
When I joined this website, you all said that you had seen every modification done to a V. I can now officially call you all a bunch of liers! P.S. -- How long of an extention cord do you need to keep the A/C on at the lake?

Got me there! But there are more joining all the time, Can't wait to see whats next??:clap:
 
I'd mount a water slide up there. :you:

Sorry Abe. We's just having some fun here. Not every day you see that sort of mod on a boat. Kind of looks like the platforms they add to boats that take people out para-sailing.
 
Yeah, Abe, we're just teasin' a bit... Actually, I've seen things similar to yours on boats down in FL... A little different, but similar...
