Not a great picture but in mine the holder protrudes about 1.5" to 2" through the top of the rod box and to a lesser extent through the rear. It pretty much drains into the cockpit and a little baffle work could ensure that it completely drains into the cockpit. It sticks too far down to use a...

Merry Christmas MJ. May God bless you and yours and best wishes to the entire V20 community! Cheers, John

I'm taking my pickup truck to South Kingston RI from zip 10983 on Christmas morning and returning home the following morning. Bill, assuming you can meet me around 9:00 AM in Kingston on Monday, I can get together with D sometime this week and bring it up. If you can't make that time, I can...

Power brakes and power steering - nice..

Two batteries forward, spare prop, tool kit, spare parts, outdated flares in mine..

Thanks D, I appreciate your insight. Will be doing some shopping...

Got my hats today. Awesome and perfect! Thanks Joe and thanks everyone for all your help and guidance this past year. I have enjoyed my V immeasurably more thanks to this great forum. Merry Christmas everybody !

Thanks D, So what would the Liberty policy cover on your boat? Damage while sitting beside the house? I would like to get away from BoatUS for all of it - damage on the water, wet towing, trailering and storage. Is Liberty capable of covering all (most?) scenarios if you wanted? I see that...

I have had BoatUS insurance for the over 25 years. I finally needed it for a short tow a few years back and the claims process was quick and painless. I can't recall who their carrier was at the time but BoatUS switched over to Geico last year. This year I had a claim on a damaged bimini top...

That is priceless !

"Tamper" hahahaha! Your term or hers? LOL

Awesome! Congrats and welcome !

Great idea! I'll report back..

Thanks Skunk, I'm going to get some quotes but if it's too expensive, your shortcut method sounds better than just using plates. If I go that route and basically pour half the transom do you think that will make it difficult or impossible to do a proper job down the road?

So I took Skunk's advice and put the motor up as far it would go and bounced with my full weight on the skeg. I'm no expert and as much as I want to remain in denial about this it looks pretty bad IMO. According to the ruler it only deflects around 1/16" of an inch but it still seems too flimsy...

Welcome Tommy ! Looks like its new members day around here!... :clap:

Hi Bill, Welcome aboard ! Be sure to check out the classifieds and boats for sale sections of the forum as you continue your search. Good luck ! Best, John

I was afraid you guys would say that - but of course you are right. I'm still torn between a plate until I repower and just replacing the transom the right way this winter. I'm not sure that I want to tackle a transom rebuild myself though. I doubt I could do a decent job from the outside and...

So I have had my '89 V for about a year now. When I bought it I tapped around on the transom and it sounded solid but I don't have a practiced ear for just how solid it should sound. In the spring I mounted trim tabs so I drilled into the transom and the wood was what I would call damp. It was...

I have always enjoyed your insights and kind words. Thank you !
