FS: 1989 V 20 Project with trailer. SOLD I am putting up my V20 for sale. I don't have the time to finish it and I don't have room for her anymore. The hull is still in two pieces but the transom is done and one stringer needs to be cut out as the other one is already cut out and mocked up...

SOLD 175 merc, cover is ok, one pan is cracked 200 merc, cover and pans are ok 200 mariner, cover ok, one pan has a nasty rash Trade me somthing for all of them, anything boating or fishing. If you would like to buy them $50 for all three I need them gone

This one is my favorite. I remember looking through it as a kid and thinking how awesome everything in there was.

Friend has a 200 HPDI small block. Cranks but doesn't start, it has spark, good pressure from the VST and is reading about 650-680 on the HPFP when cranking. Also has 135psi on the cylinders. No codes for open fuel inejector or anything like that. So I assumes the injector drivers are good. I...

while I was on the web today this thought popped into my head. "I didn't use a de-waxing solvent or cleaner on the fiberglass before I started grinding". Do you guys think there still would be wax left on the gel coat and fiberglass I sanded years after the repair was made? I wouldn't think that...

I might be picking up a opti 135 on the cheap but I know from working on them that they have the solid head gaskets and they are like 400 per now. Did anyone ever create a cheaper alternative to them? The block should be the same as the 2000 and newers, would just buying used newer style heads...

I am using the old interior skin from the transom to hold in the arjay that I pour for my new transom. I have some roven woven and I was going to use that to tab in the skin in the bilge. I wanted to use that instead of my 1708, so I wouldn't run short. I figure the roven should work, since I...

Nice try

I am thinking about going this route because it seems really less time consuming and I was curious as to how much I was going to need.

To redo the transom and the stringers, my glass man doesn't want to take the repair job therefore I am stuck doing it myself. Lumber yard in NOLA finally got some marine tech back in.

I was dead set on going to a bracket and full transom, but the more post I read and the more I think about it. My CC especially with my big live well is going to be way too stern heavy. I then remembered that my boat has a big panel that fits inside a channel and effectively creates a big splash...

I figured someone here would know what I am talking about. It's some type of composite similar to foam. It usually is tan in color and works great with poly resin. It has really good insulation properties and I have seen guys use it to make ice box to trawl boats after then coat it with...

bought a bunk trailer from a local guy its a 1995 but looks in great shape and has 5 new tires, one being a spare. as soon as I can get the V on the new trailer I'll be able to start working on her again.

as the question ask. The fishing I do around the islands is made really nice by being able to troll around the rock structures. I am not sure though if the bow of the V is too tall for a trolling motor.

my dad wants to sell his dualie. Here is the scoop. Soild transom, stringers are probably shot, motors run, but they are old. Trailer is in good shape. Floor is solid. It's a really good project boat, I would re do it, but I loathe dual consoles. lol. Best part about this boat is my dad wants it...
