Last year I installed a set of ccms fiber reed valves and had my injectors professionally cleaned all went back together and the motor runs great but I've lost 400 rpm after the change. Ran it last year thinking maybe the reeds needed to break in but nothing has changed. Before changing the...

Well had a offer on the table for a job outside of Tallahassee and couldn't pass it up so looks like me and the fam including the v are heading into uncharted waters. I know there are a few guys that live up in the panhandle hopefully I can find some good spots to take the ole boat. Looks like...

Well after deciding not to sell my boat earlier this year I started some repairs on it then as luck would have it I blew the engine last week.... Damn the luck.... Well I've decided that the main reason I wanted to sell it earlier this year is that I'm a outboard guy and now I have the perfect...

Thinking about selling my cuddy and getting something smaller. We rarely use it anymore and it's just too big for the lake we live on. It's an 83' model I/o with a 350 260hp.

I was cleaning my boat today and found one of my windshield supports broken where it attaches to the helm. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement?

I'm looking for a hard top for my v does anyone know where to find one or are most of them custom built? What price range do they run normally? Been looking at several boats on here with them and would love to have one... Thanks

Id like to start off by saying im new to the forum and new to the v20. Seems to be quite a wealth of knowledge around here! I recently purchased a 1983 v20 with a 260hp I/o 350ci engine I've had quite a time getting all the bugs worked out of it. I finally had a chance to run it this evening and...
