Yep, the toilet was already in the last I heard.
I think Skools and Bigshrimpn should restore it.

Too bad there isn't somebody nearby, like NY or Jersey! I didn't know they were around before the 60's That pre-dates the Bertram and Formula boats if that's the case. Wouldn't it have to be an Alim, only the Alim's and Glasspar's had the low deck like that one.

Where the FLOCK is Brentwood
Brentwood is out on Long Island. I sent the guy an email asking what he knows about the origin of the boat. Lets see what he says

Sent him this email:
"Saw your add for 1958 V-20. Do you have any history on the origin of the boat. I did not think anyone made a V20 earier than then 1960’s. Do you have any information as to the manufacturer? Are you sure its 1958?"
This was his repsons:
"I have the paper work for the boat it is a 1958 V20"
That's it....nothing else. People kill me....is that state registration paperwork, mfg paperwork ...WHAT?????? Maybe I pissed him off, I didnt think I came off like I was calling him a liar....oh well.

I knew of no mass produced deep V hulls before the 60's, except maybe a 24 footer that was described in a report of the "America's Cup Race" that it ran like no one had ever seen. It inspired the early Bertram. I thought Bertram ran the Miami to Nassau in one of the first "one off" deep V's in 61'. I'm sure it's an honest mistake but still think 58' is possibly a typo. I also believe 68' is reasonable, they had that low deckline in 1968 and until Wellcraft started mass producing them in 1970 with the same hull but a higher coaming under the windshield that we're more accustomed to.
