I'm looking for a solid good running inboard V20. Anything available in the Texas area? I've had 2 V20s in the past but they were both outboards. Looking to do something different this time.

I havent posted up on here for a while but I've been fishing my 81 V20 on an average of once every month since I bought it a few years ago. The floor board and the transom have always been soft due to rot but I never really cared since it always held up and got me where I wanted to fish. Well...

I have been looking at repowering my V for some time now and think I found a good deal. To make a long story short, I have a buddy that owes me a favor that has another buddy that owes him a favor that just happens to own a boat that he is repowering. The motor he is removing is a 2005 200hp...

Last time out I noticed the trailer leaning on the way back home. After further inspection I noticed the left front leaf spring snapped in half due to rust. Its an easy fix but I have been all around town (Corpus Christi TX) and cant find anywhere that has a new one. Is there anywhere I can...

Just curious. Last time I went out I stuck it in some shallow water and was just wondering whats the shallowest a moderately loaded V20 can go. There's some new fishing spots I want to try out but not sure if it is safe to try to get there in the V.

I went down to my home town this week for the holidays and went fishing the Laguna Madre 3 separate days. The V20 ran perfect every time. This is the first time I really tested it to see how it ran so I decided to take it out to the gulf of Mexico even though the seas where pretty rough just to...

Just saw the news and it looks like IKE is heading towards the Texas coast. Who else on this board lives here? Well where ever it hits, I hope everyone is alright.

I just purchased an 81 V20 with a 100hp evinrude. The motor is in good running condition but when I hooked up the hose to start it, there was leaking water from between the lower unit and main body. I removed the lower unit and disassembled the water pump and found a worn out impeller and bad...

Where can I get some factory replacement seats for my V? And how much do they cost usually?

well after looking at what it would really cost me to restore my dads old V20 i started looking around for something else. after looking at tons of different boats, i found the perfect one for my needs. another V20 LOL. this ones in good running order and also has a very nice newer aluminum...

Well, I just started getting serious about restoring my dads old 78 cuddy but it needs alot of work. Also with the lack of extra time and money we have on our hands, it will not be done for at least one and a half years. So i have been looking around alot and found another 78 model close by. I...

I'm sure it has been talked about here hundreds of times, but i am looking to have someone replace the transom on my 78 cuddy. i talked to a guy here in Houston who sounded like he knows what he is doing from a company called westside fiberglass in katy tx. has anyone heard on him. if not, does...

alright, i got a 1978 V20 thats been in the family since 79. originally it came with twin 75hp mercs and once those gave out, we re-powered with a single 175 mariner. the guy that did the swap back in the late 80s, didnt repair the transom correctly where the twins used to be. so of coarse, now...

ok here is a good one. i got a 78 V20 steplift that has been in the family since 1979. it came from the factory with twin 75hp mercs. after 10 years or so of saltwater use, those went bad and my dad repowered with a single 175 mariner. now after another 10 years or so of saltwater use, it has...
