    Fair price for V20 Steplift Repairs

    Who knows what anything cost anymore, but that’s a lot o work. Also depends on materials used in the rebuild. Lotta gray area. If u got the boat for nothing. And 6-8 months later u had a V20 with new stringers , cap, etc. I’d say it’s worth it. But no matter what u do to that hull, only worth...

    Bow rail Why ?

    Agree with DM, bow pulpit is the way to go. Allows control of anchoring while standing in cabin. Also when anchoring shallow, lets me ease up until anchor is vertical and the bump forward to pop anchor out of mud. Rail also gives me a place to store anchor ball on deck.

    Bow rail Why ?

    i kept mine because of my kids and their friends. We pull up to the sand bar or island and they all hug out in the cabin or on the bow. Does give a false sense of security to some, i see lotta kids riding on the bow with legs hanging over. Not a smart move.

    Wanted - Wellcraft V21 in excellent condition

    86 should be raised deck, scuppers go overboard. Earlier, go into bilge and get pumped overboard. I would think all V21 would have same overboard drains.

    Who’s got the oldest V boat ?

    Don't blame you,D. As long as it goes, run it. Had an OB mechanic tell me one time, running an outboard on your boat is like riding around with a hand grenade strapped to your transom. sounds like your good at pre=maintenance, that means a lot.

    Adding a pulpit

    I helped a friend build a deck using ipe, he was the carpenter, i just handed stuff to him. Then I rebuilt all of the wood in my 13 whaler using some scraps and left over board. Agree with Scook,great on boats. But very dense, hard on tool and blades. You MUST predrill and screw holes. Does...
