Sold!!

Sorry to see her go, but we wanted a bigger boat and have no need for two boats.

And, for you guys who are selling your boat, hold for your price. Don't get discouraged by any negative comments you might get. We negotiated a very modest price adjustment to close the deal. If you have a clean boat and a motivated buyer, you can get your money!
 
Thanks, we are sorry to see her go, but we purchased a larger boat and have no need for two. On the flip side, the folks who purchased the boat are real nice people who are introducing their young son to boating. It is a win win situation.
 
Thank you, we tried to keep her clean and well maintained. Someone once described a V 20 as "the biggest little boat on the water." I think that is a true statement!
 
When I here the sell saying that his or her boat went to a nice family that tells me that you loved that boat and am hoping that the new owners have the same enjoyment that you had with her That said Really a nice looking boat good luck to the news owner hopefully we will see them on here sharing there experience Too
 
Thanks for the kind words Step.
And, just an observation... There are a bunch of really nice people on this site. I don't post much, but I do follow along and one thing that I noticed is that everyone is willing to help out with any problems or issues that people may have. Very little if any nastiness goes on here, unlike most forums found elsewhere on the web. Hats off to you all!!!
 
Agree with both of y'all. DiverDux stick around here even if you don't have a V-20. What type of new boat did you get?
 
Hi Bradford-

I do plan to hang around. As I said this is a great website with good people. Much of the information here can be applied to boats in general, not just those beautiful V's. Usually, I am the recipient of information/ideas, but one day I'm sure someone will have a problem that I can help them with.

So, we (my brother and I) have lived in NE Ohio within minutes of Lake Erie our whole lives. We hunt waterfowl and fish for walleye, yellow perch and smallmouth bass an the "Big Pond." For much of this time we hunted and fished out of my 18' Lund Alaskan. This is plenty of boat if one stays close and is careful about when you go out. But, definitely limited, once the walleye moved offshore it was "game over."

Two years ago I found a V20 for sale and we bought it. The idea was to fish out of it and see if we used it enough to justify the expense of a bigger boat. Well, we did use it and we felt that we wanted a bigger boat to facilitate a few more people on board and to make those days when the lake is rough a bit more comfortable.

I came across a 1999 Sportcraft 251 in January that was in really nice shape with low hours and stored on a trailer in a barn. This boat was hardly used! Price was right, so after a bit of "horse-trading" it now belongs to us. We need to do a bit of fiberglass work (we can't stand holes in a boat), install an autopilot unit, a fishfinder/chartplotter and a windlass, clean her up, put a shine on it and then into the slip. We just got it back from a guy in Delaware who installed a hard-top, he did a real nice job. The rest is ours to do. We are going to miss the V, but we are looking forward to a bunch of fun with family and friends on the new boat. Yes, it is bittersweet!

A few photos of the hardtop install and right after completion.

No, no axle issue. It just looks like the axles are out of allignment. Towed 900 miles over two weekends and no issues. Thanks for the observation though.
 
No, we did pretty well. We did a bit of work to her, and because we did most of it ourselves, we didn't lose money on the sale. The beautiful part is that both the seller and the buyer were/are happy. Win, win both ways!
