Dunked her in today. Took a little run out across the bay and into the inlet. The wind was blowin up a pretty nice chop and really was getting nasty. The boat ran better and faster then I expected with the 115 on the back. I got 26 knots max at about 5200 rpm by gps.

Here are a few pics at the marina:

NICE BOAT,
I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS IF YOU DONT MIND. DID YOU ADD THE WIPER? ANY PROBLEMS WITH WHERE YOU MOUNTED THE GPS ANTENNEA? WHEN WE GOING FISHING?

CT - Thanks. Its an 85! ;D But Like I sid before its identical to yours down to the boot stripe. Therefore, i'd have to agree with your statement. ;)

Franco,

No Probs with the GPS Ant. It works well (has a nice open view of the sky there) , doesnt leak, and I dont stand too much on the foredeck so its not in my way.

The wiper was there when I got the boat and is inoperable. Its so small it would be worthless to use even if you are as short as I am (5 six). Unless you like crouching over to see out of the bottom 5 inches of the windshield in the sloppy stuff when bending over isnt a good idea. :o
Rain X is the way to go for me. I want to remove the wiper and fill the hole.

I'm ready to wet the lines when you are!! 8)
 
THANKS FOR THE REPLY, GOT A NEW GPS COMING - LOOKS LIKE A GREAT PLACE TO MOUNT THE ANTENNEA. I'LL DISREGARD THE WIPER IDEA, I LIKE RAINX TOO.

D'oh! For some reason I thought yours was an '86 as well. ??? I still use my wiper, but you do have to get yourself in a silly position for it to be worth anything - I even have an operable one on the port side. I was going to look into a bigger blade this season. Speaking of worthless items on the V-20, does your horn work? Mine doesn't.
 
CT -

The horn works, but I also have the backup air horn. I think its a coat guard reg to have a non electrical sound signaling device?
 
I just keep an air horn handy...don't worry 'bout boat's... ;)...
got a windshield wiper couple of years ago after fishin' in the rain all day...still in the box... ::) ...it's ALL good... ;D...
