Cabin

Anyone ever seen a V20 with a fully enclosed cabin. Was wondering how it would look and how much room you would have.
 
i have seen two times where someone did a home made job on the V. Did not care for how they looked. I do think that if you did a lower roof line, similar to what you would see on a Shamrock cuddy it could be sweet. You would have to watch construction material so as to go as light and rigid as possible. More weight up front may not work well in regards to boat handling in diffrent sea conditions.

Weight is the main issue...my suggestion would be find a GOOD canvas shop and have then make you up a good quality canvas & eisenglass full enclosure...I use mine in the hardest part of winter w/a propane heater...works pretty good...

ditto....the canvas will offer all of the protection from the elements. It is light and functional and best of all - removeable.

I use mine in the winter as well. Can't beat havng temps in the 60's inside the enclosure while its upper 30's outside.

A couple years ago we had this discussion and I photoshopped an off the shelf full enclosure.

You can decide if you like it or not:

That looks like a photoshop job...the bow rail stops/stars and the roofline on the building seen thru the glass is not inline...not a bad design, but I don't think it's real...
 
Wow reel, we must be getting old,
I made the same mistake this morning in a business meeting.

I didn't read very well, I thought that anti-rust had was written as anti-Trust that one T made a world of difference in what we were talking about.

Anyway, yes, I did that half-a$$ed photoshop job.
 
i like it parish, i'd set it in the back yard, turn the sprinklers on, and watch re-runs of "Deadliest Catch"..
 
I have the canvas enclosure minus the back curtain. Getting it soon. I was just wondering if anyone had one. I am actually thinking about getting a hard top tho maybe. Not sure yet because i like the top down when it is nice out and not real hot also.

This made the boat a year round fishing machine.
 
Blue Runner,

How far from the transom the enclosure is ?

What is the distance ?

Does let you enough space inside ? does it make 6 foots in stright line ?
