Greetings everyone,

Just bought this 81 CC in Huntington Beach, Ca. As I type this, she is sitting at the Port of Honolulu waiting to be off loaded.

I spent months looking for a clean vessel to bring to the Island, I feel blessed to find this one. Probably overpaid but I swear its the cleanest used boat I have ever seen. Especially since its 32 years old.

Had a Professional Marine Surveyor go through entire boat, all he could find was a very slight "flex" on the bow locker hatch.

Anyway, love this site, seems like a great group of folks and Im looking forward to sharing the V20 experience with all of you.
 
Congrats!
Beautiful boat!.
The teal green deck is sharp looking.
Good luck with it and enjoy your new V!
 
Beautiful looking boat! You are gonna get a lot of use out of it. Best of Luck with it!!! And welcome to the site.:nic:
 
With that sticker on the back of the engine its was almost as if it was destined to be in the islands:beer:

Nice lookin boat! I had the same flex issues in both my lids. I doubled up two pieces of Starboard and problem solved. Best of luck with her!!!
 
nice rig and a great place to use it. don't know who's luckier, you or the boat. we expect to see a lot of year round pics.

as far as cost, my dad always told me if the only complaint you have about something is the price, you got a deal...
 
Aloha!! Welcome to the site. That's a great looking boat. You're taking your time and being picky obviously paid off, as she's a real beauty. Congrats on your boat and site find. Looking forward to seeing and hearing about your adventures together. :beer:

Haha...that's what I thought. Sticker is a clear sign from the boat gods.

And, If you could post a pic of the deck lid fix, I would be most grateful.

Thanks, My wife was ready to kill me. She kept saying, "pick a D@mn boat already! LOL.:fight:

I was all ready to buy a 17' scout but when I got to Cali and saw it in person my spidey senses warned me away.

But hey, the hunt is half the fun!

Thanks for the reply Cam.

We dive and fish so this rig will get a workout but, I still want to try to keep her as pretty as she is today.
 
Welcome to the site. Having owned both the V20 Center Console and a 17' Scout, trust me, you'll be much happier with the V20.

Here is the link to the Mods I did on my CC. Included within are some recommendations you might consider(ESPECIALLY THOSE DECK DRAINS!!!). I'll try to get you better closeups of the lids but at least it'll give you an idea.....

Thanks so much! You've done a nice job.

Will definitely take your advice on the deck drains. Storms hit sudden and hard out here, so this seems like a must on my to do list.

Mahalo!
