I'm looking to add some storage to my cabin and wondering if anyone has found some good solution. I have a '74, so I have the single covered center storage area and no shelves around the sides of the cabin. 1) For these older cabins, has anyone come up with a good system for adding storage...

Hi Guys- Apologies to those of you who already saw this message in Off Topic (and thanks for the replies so far). I was hoping to get a few more tips and thought I might have a better chance here in the General forum. I have a 1974 V20 that has treated me quite well for the past 9 years. I'm...

Hi Guys- It's been quite a while since I posted anything, but I have a 1974 V20 that has treated me quite well for the past 9 years. I'm a reporter and have been covering the oil spill the last few weeks. I've already been out to the spill zone on a research ship and will probably be heading...

Hi, Everybody- I'm afraid there may not be a good solution to my problem, but thought I'd check your collective wisdom. I've got a 74 V20 with a mid-80s rebuilt 200HP Mercury and the steering is really, really tight. The problem is that it's really sticky around the shaft that the engine turns...

I'm planning to mount a Garelick dive ladder on the transom of my '73 V-20 and am wondering if anybody out there has done this and might have any tips. I could have sworn I read something here on this topic but can't finding anything now while searching. Because the transom slants outward...

My '73 V-20 cuddy has a small black rubberized steering wheel and I'm thinking of upgrading to a larger stainless steel version. Has anybody out there done that, and if so do you have recommendations on what type to get? Is it a simple replacement or does it require modification?

I have a 1973 v-20 with the dual side 20-gallong tanks. If I come even close to filling them, I get fueling leaking out the vent all over the side of the boat. One side used to leak into the boat, but I fixed that by replacing a cracked tube. Anybody else have this problem or know of a way to...
