So, for anyone interested in my paranoia about boat batteries getting submerged in salt water, I found this thread on a another forum. https://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/387504-will-batteries-work-when-completely-submerged-saltwater.html Based on that, it sounds like you don't want...

I guess we lost the OP. O.P. -- hopefully these replies are helpful!

I'm not familiar with the area. I agree that a 12 mile trip is very doable... as you say, as long as the boat and the captain are seaworthy, and the weather cooperates. Last summer, I took my maiden voyage on Fish Beware from Plymouth harbor to Race Point, to Province town and back to...

As soon as I find that $500K in cash that I buried in my backyard! i know it's there somewhere... I'll just have to keep digging! :-)

First boat. New to boating. Going off shore is not a good plan. I'm considering trying off-shore, but I have more experience... although I'm still learning. I've also been slowingly outfitting my boat. I have plans/ am in the process if some major refits, including 2 batteries, moving...

Just saw you posted a year ago! Oops... I saw 5/29 and thought... that's current... but today is 5/28, so really you posted almost a year ago! Hope my response isn't too late! :-)

I have a 1984 V20 with a 2003 Johnson (re-badged Suzuki) DF140. It's the cuddy cabin model, not the center console, and I added Bennett Hydraulic trim tabs which make a *world* of difference. It's a fairly high-tech 4-stroke -- even though it's a 2003, and she has under 400 hrs on her. I get...

Update.... wires, wires, wires! OK. It's not a photo, but here's a graphic of the wiring upgrade I'm considering. I've added a radar arch from Atlantic towers... but still need to wire up my spreader lights, antennas, etc. I'm also relocating the battery, adding a 2nd battery, and...

Nope. I talked a good game, so now I guess I've gotta deliver! :-)

Is it OK with the Moderator to post photos to *this* site? I like that approach, and it's easy to do. I have a question for the @moderator or one of the senior members, Is there a concern about storage space and bandwidth usage? I ask because posting photos the way that @Giorgio described...

Gladly. I have so many plans, ideas and projects that I've created my own "build thread" where I'll post plans, updates and info on the work, changes and mods I'm doing to my V20. I'll post the update there now. Here's a link. Fish Beware build thread...

Hello, I'm curious about posting photos. I've seen recommendations about posting using one of the 3rd party photo sharing sights. My question is why not post the photos here on wellcraftv20.com? Is it an issue of space on the server and network bandwidth used by this site. I realize that...

I've made so many changes to my V20, and I'm planning so many more, that I thought I'd start a "build thread", where I chronicle some the changes over time, and also share ideas and ask for advice. I bought Fish Beware last summer (2020), from the previous owner on Cape Cod, who had taken...

Well, @bgreene, I have to agree with you. While I've never owned one, I've always liked the explorers, and you certainly can't argue with $2K - $5K for a good, reliable, tow vehicle. My 4Runner was also my daily driver for several years, and it's just what I liked, but nothin' wrong with an...

Hello theHappyHalo, It's been a while, but spring *is* coming. Are you still around? Are you still looking at selling the boat. I might be interested again... Sincerely, -Philip

Spring is in the air here in VA... I'm getting excited... Another week or 2 and I'll pull out Fish Beware, and get back to work, prepping for Spring fishing starting in April.

Thanks for all of the info, @SkunkBoat. I've taken a break to hibernate for part of the winter. :-) I plan to get back on the water in March, and continue this tuning. I think you're right about needing more pitch and raising the motor height. I *think* I have a 19 pitch Solas 3 blade...

Is it still for sale? Do you have more photos? Ball-park range, how much are looking for her? Thanks! -Philip

When i communicated with the seller, she seemed legit to me. That included, when I asked her if she thought the trailer was roadworthy enough to make a trip from FL to VA... assuming I replaced the tires and had the wheel bearings checked and repacked, she said she didn't know, and that the...

Great to hear about your boat. I picked up an '84 V20 in June 2020, and have been thrilled! Like you, I drew up a long list of things to do... when I typed it up it had 53 items on it! I think I've knocked off the top 30 or so, but then I keep adding to it... HF Marine radio w/...
