Im not sure its gonna be a V20 anymore!

[reelapeelin]

Every now and then a real artist shows up around here using a V20 as his medium...the craftsmanship and level of design/execution you have goin on here are amazing...I'd love to see it close up...

Ben you were right and I quote "Im not sure its gonna be a V20 anymore" its now a NEW V , your work is awesome. I wish you were close by I would have volunteer myself to watch a master at work. Good luck and keep us posted..

I'm stunned... mouth agape in awe and wonderment. It's always fun to watch a master at work...Well Done Sailor!!!

Thanks for the replies

Im by no means a master. There are a lot of things ive learned and would have done differently. But I am extremely happy with how it has turned out so far. I am having anxiety issues right now not being able to work on it.

I absolutely love that top! That would be a wicked cobia lookout.

If you ever decide to sell that boat will you sell it to me?

Looks awesome man.

 

[phatdaddy]

love that top/tower..............looks like salvadore dali meets pipewelders

 

[captpete13]

All I can say is WOW! That is one sick boat. Are you able to fold down the upper station so you can trailer it

Nice work there man! Gonna look great with a brand new outboard on the back. Hint,Hint

ive got a new 4 stoke suzuki!

the tower doesnt fold, i hate noise. I changed my roller trailer to a bunk trailer and dropped it down a few inches. the highest point on tower is 12'1". Limit is 13-6. I was able to do this because my buddy who built the top starts from scratch. I gave him a max height he could go and he went from there. The top of the t-top is actually lower than most. I didnt want an electronics box so that bought me some room to float. if yall need a top built in the virginia area i assure you he will beat ALL prices and most everyones artistic abilities. And a great personality to boot. www.martinscustomstructures.com

he loves v20s. Tell him Ben sent you and i promise you will be looked after!

I have a feeling that guy is going to get some business off of this post alone. I sure would love a hardtop on my 21. Kinda would suck at the lake though b/c there are low bridges, one in particular that would cut me out of some good cruising. But it might be worth it?

Ben what is your ECD? Gettin close!
