Hi everyone. My name is Andy. Ive been boating all my life have always admired wellcraft v20/21s. Im interested in a boat thats on the eastern shore of Virginia, the problem is that its a 10hr drive for meto go look at it. What i would like to do is pay someone, who is knowledgable about boats and somewhat local, to go take pictures and check out this boat for me. This may be one of my most hair brained schemes ever or it could work out well. What do you guys think and is anyone interested in taking me up on this offer. Thanks

Not hair-brained at all...we go check out local Vs all the time for long term members...since you are newbie, all you gotta do is pledge your 1st born to the service of the board and you're IN!!...
J/K...J/K...there oughtta be someone around that area who can swing by and take some pics and check it out for you...are you sure the owner isn't a V-20.com member...if so, we may already know the boat...
 
drive 10 hours to look at a boat you may or may not buy

makes perfect sense to us

i'm sure somebody can help. welcome
 
thanks for the replies guys. the boat is named bay dancer. its a cuddy with a 175 yamaha on it. owners name is matthew. real nice guy, talked with him yesterday. im not sure of the exact location of the boat, craigslist ad wasnt specific. somewhere on the eastern shore of maryland along rt13. i liked what i heard from him yesterday, stringer and transom done, good compression, etc. my concerns are interior layout and condition, is it to big for a single axle trailer, and his asking price of $5500 seems a bit high
 
Hi Andy,

Welcome to the site.

You mention the price seems high and it is only a single axle trailer...and its 10 hours away....

We do see V20's up for sale locally from time to time...

Wish it was closer to me, Eastern shore of Md is at least 4 hours from me. If its in shape like he says, asking price seems very fair in my market.

I have a single axle trailer that tows excellent!

thanks for the welcomes guys. its listed in the hampton roads virginia craigslist. not sure where that is. now that you mention it i have seen more than a few on single axle trailers.
 
Just a thought,
Asking price on mine was less than that 8 years ago when the market was good, it had a larger engine, a newer engine at the time, and a nicer tandem axle trailer. Plus mine was only about an hour away.
 
Wonder if he put an updated cowl on that motor? The cowl is more like a 2002 - 2006. Definitely not a 1992......
 
Derail,

**unless one is your daughter or they are young**

I agree w/draglink...a single axle trailer shouldn't be a problem as long as the tires, springs and axle are rated to handle the weight...as said, several V20s here are on single axles...

Hey draglink...boat is on Eastern Shore of VA...
 
That pic was on my late Mako last summer....Its getting warm here, but not bikini warm juuuuuust yet. Next bikini pics are gonna feature the V!

Stinky-----it aint easy:sun:


Hey Reel- I saw that in the link, heck even if its at the southern tip of Eastern shore, Im almost 3 hours and a $17 toll away....anybody reside on Eastern shore or maybe Va Beach??

anyone.....anyone..

Exactly! I'll be glad to help out who and whenever I can!

Side note- I bought my last Mako in Fla, sight unseen except for pics....14 hour drive down. Every stop I made down for gas I bought a boat trader. Told my buddy riding with me who knows we might be boat shopping the whole way back home if Mako is a no-go!!
 
if i didnt have something to do on saturday i would make the run down and look at the eastern shore one as well as another with an evinrude looper thats in jersey. maybe next weekend. thanks everyone for all the help so far. btw id say thats most definetly not the original cowl
 
V-20 For sale

Ok guy's I just read this post and guess what? That boat is less than 3 minutes from me! I know Matt & his family very well....I did see a Wellcraft out by rt 13 for sale but didn't connect the dots until now...I just got off the phone with Matt so Fishnfetch if you want to pursue this one let me know....but I'm not taking any money.....................Ha! You guys forgot about me living here on the Shore...I thought at least ole Reel would tune in...must be oldtimers settin in!! Ha!

Reel was highly instrumental in me purchasing my pristine 21 down there in Spartenburg so now I get to return the favor to another member here....aint that what this site is all about??

Matt's Dad owned this boat before passing it along to his son..he picked up a 1993 V21 just a little while before Reel found mine...Mark found the V20 on the western shore of Va, had a local fiberglass guy take care of the transom area & they found a low hour 92 Yamaha in Chesapeake Va. to mount on the stern......Blue runner, the reason the cowl looks newer is because Matt spruced it up and applied new decals.....I don't have a lot of in depth knowledge about the boat/motor but I can tell you Matt is a standup guy and would not misrepresent anything!
