I used to have a 77 V20 for 11 years, and when my friend Tim asked if I wanted the V20 site cause he no longer had the time I said sure!! Now 10 years later they have all got toghter and gave me this! 1986 V20 needs some work but the engin checked out great and the trailer is perfect, even has the full enclouser! I need to clean up some wires, get batterys, drain 5 year old gs out, replace a few hoses, new sterring cable and she will be ready for the water! I can.t do the work but my son will do it with my teaching him as we go 2 years off the water has been killing me.

Thats funny Freak!! I was thinking of all th stuff I sold, but more the stuff I just gave away, that I need now!
I need:
winch, and I gave away a new 2 speed one
4 tires
water pump
someone to restich the bimi top
batterys
Thats it so far, not bad for free! Boat started right up after a 5 year sit. Compression was 110 in 3 cyl 118 in the 4th.
I will get there slow but sure!

Thanks guys!! I am going to need all the help I can get getting back i n the water! I have $0 funds for this, but when the boat was offered I had not the heart to say no.Knowing its not really free!
Got the sezied power winch off today, and the bimi top off. was happy for the top as it has the glass side curtins and all, then I opened the to to find the stiches rotted out of it, needs all restiching Do we knmow anyone??
Thanks guys your great!!
