    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...

    Who’s got the oldest V boat ?

    You guys are a lot better to your boats than i am. Had mine 32 years and haven't waxed it yet. Used to wash with soap & brush in the spring and just rinse when we got home. 25 years ago, i built a pole barn in side yard to store it under. that helped a lot. I did buy a cheap elec pressure...

    Transom issues

    Given that it’s a V21, that would probably be a very tricky one to do. Not really sure how they built it at the factory. Hopefully some of the 21 crew will shed more light. I remember Destroyer (I think) had to add a brace or stiffen his up at one time. Gotta remember these are at least 35...

    Need advice on fuel leak

    Try lowering the bow as low as u can, leave it for a hour or two. This should flood the front half of the tank where the intake and vent inlets are. Then lift bow as high as u can and check drain. If no gas leave it bow high for an hour or two and see if any gas shows up. The rear is where...

    V’s to avoid

    Never owned one myself, did not like having hot salt water running through a car engine. Also know of a few that were sunk because of bad bellows. Also take up too much real estate on the deck.
