1982 wellcraft V20 renovations

Wanted to show some of my work..................

At the end of the fall I bought a Wellcraft V20 1982 hull with a 2004 trailer, Evinrude 200HP, and new GPS/Finder/radio. Got a great deal but the boat had been a bit neglected.


no problem I thought, checked it out, found a few soft spots in the floor but transom was sound. Made a few trips out in the boat and loved it. Gulf Grouper closed so i thought I would fix the floor............THat was the beginning of my hearache.........

See it as it happens: http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=297511

Need to be done for Gulf Grouper opeing on April 1! FINGERS ARE CROSSED

fun fun fun. Is that evinrude an etec.I saw some up for auction at the same place I bought my boat but I couldn't tell what type of motor it was.I purchased a used boat last winter and i'm just about ready to start.I don't have as much to do but after seeing some of the guys projects and the end results i'm pretty excited about it .Can't wait to see it finished.

Wow nice job. Thats an extensive project but she should be good for another 20+ years after that! And you will literaly know your boat inside and out. Hope to see you in the gulf soon.

WOW. Excellent job. Congratulations. As Diverlb said, you just built yourself a boat for at least another 20 years. And a very good one at that. That hull is famous for very good reasons. Enjoy.
