81V20

Joe, thats what I was thinking as well. Take cash in hand and hopefully get it cheaper. Keep us posted and let us know if you bring her home. Take your camera with ya.
 
I would wait to see, if they are saying in the listing that the boat is in "fair condition" then it might not be usable without a rebuild.

NADA Average retail on the motors is under $1400 total.
 
Not a bad idea, I should be pretty safe with cash in hand in Mystic (hopefully).

I'll bring the camera and send out some pictures.

I'm actually a little excited about there being two motors, I'm planning on mooring this boat out on the Connecticut sound so the idea of having a backup to get the thing to dock is appealing.
 
Just make sure that the transom is strong!! Lift up the motor by hand and see if the transom has any movement.

Look for soft spots in the deck.

Bring a compression tester with you, if you don't have one rent one from AutoZone for free.
All numbers should be within 10% of each other!!Make sure she is piss water.

Good Luck!!

PS when you own that boat paint that red crap will ya!!! ;)
 
test the transom like i do when that have a motor stand on the lower unit and bounce up and down see if the transom gives or if the whole trailer moves. then take a leather hammer if avail rubber if leather not avail and beat on the transom for hollow spots do the same on the floor you can usually hear the stringers under the floor to tell how the stringers are as well.
 
Nope, Randleman and his V. Pics arnt here either. Ok, I give up. Going out on the road. Everybody in Lewes gets a ticket tonight. >:( >:( >:(
 
I looked at this boat with my neighbor this past weekend. The guy told me straight away that the floor is soft and it was indeed. Seemed like the whole thing needed to be replaced. The kicker motor is not running also, according to the owner.
 
Sorry guys, I didn't end up going to take pictures. I received an email from the owner stating the same things that the floor was soft and that the kicker didn't work. I thru out a quick number and was rebuffed.

But I did end up buying a V20 center console from NJ this weekend. I'll post pictures of that once I pick it up on Saturday.
