Jason, your switch sound like the water witch. Did'nt know johnson had the same set up. Just curious about float type vs non float as far as dependability.

Hello to all V20'ers, My project is coming along good, just waaay too slow. Soon I need to set up my bilge pump system, I want to go with dual Rule 2000's in the bilge area with 3 position rocker style switchs. I read all the good bad and ugly about float switches, so was wondering if anyone has...

Yeah we live near the Hwy 64 bridge over Lake Reese. We were coming home from the mtns. and told the wife,hey look there's a V!!! and I bet thats Bluerunner coming in. Hoping to get my V in the water soon, would like to get up with you and talk V20's sometime :nic::nic:

Hey Blue, was that you I met Monday afternoon on Hwy 64 westbound just outside of Lexington?

NAPA carries a lot of 470 parts, thats where I got a few things for mine...give them a try if you have one locally. Good luck.

Spare is right on ...specs give 25 ft lbs. Just did mine. By the way a Hello to ya as we are practically neighbors, I'm in Asheboro. And good luck.:hi:

seems to be some slight performance advantages as far spark timing and a little hotter coil.needed? not sure, maybe just the latest and greatest for a couple more bucks.

Might try Car Shop Inc. I just ordered the Pertronix 2 ignitor and coil from them today as they seemed to have pretty good prices on these. My 470 already had the ignitor but a regular coil. Wanted to upgrade to the "2" and use larger plug wires and plug gaps.

You and your family are in our thoughts.

Thanks for the info C, trying to decide which route to go. Two bilge pumps, scuppers or both. I have not had my boat in the water yet and it will be a while yet so I don't know exactly where the water line is. Is water line low enough on your boat for scuppers to work well?

Great looking boat ya got there, been through your photo gallery many times since getting my '78 V back in Nov. Curios as to what you have for your bilge/pump set up? I also have the 470. Again nice boat!!!

Great looking V you got there, I've looked through your gallery photos many times since I got my '78 back in Nov. I was wondering what you have as far as your bilge/pump set up ? I too have the 470.

MJ, Mom and family are in our thoughts. Never easy to see our moms deal with these kind of things. Hang in there and best wishes to you all.

You're right Reel too many ideas too little time/$$. On the bottom paint I'm leaning toward PPG epoxy primer and acrylic enamel w/hardener which is basically an acrylic urethane. Pros and cons with any system so this is my choice as of now. Only painting below water line and transom and want to...

Just look what y'all got me into now ( V20 addiction?). Naw just kidding, thought I would throw in an update since getting the V back in Nov. So far I have the bottom paint stripped off, sanded and now reglassing a few scrapes and gouges on bottom and transom hidden by bottom paint. Also have...

The 4 barrel carb. and associated components are worth over half the asking price! Good looking engine, good luck.

Can't wait to hear how your Bennets work out as I plan on doing the same by spring. My V came with a set of Smart Tabs that I recently removed while doing a transom clean up and bottom stripping. Good luck with your install

Lumber, that sounds like you were a good boy this year. Santa dropped off a couple of rod/reel combos for the new (to me) V20. 1 Penn 330gti & 1 Penn Senator, that should cover the spots and pompano hehehe!, now for the biiig fish? Merry Christmas and Happy New New Year Everyone!

Hey Lumber, Our thoughts are with you and your family during tough times.

Thanks for the replies guys, I had a chance to check a few things today and here is what I found.#1 water pump seal is leaking out the weep hole. #2 compression checked 145/150/140/135 keep in mind this boat has not been in the water with a good run in 6 months, so just warmed up on the...
