She is recovering. This shot is 45 minutes after she sunk! my friends work fast!! You can't see the tow rope or tow boat in this shot:)
 
Willy, It happend October 2005 a fall squall kicked it up to about 40+ from the west, she took it square on the stern (2 ft chop like Pamlico sound in February-real close together) she rolled in less than 10 minutes.
 
Whoa OTF, guess you should've backed her in huh? Course, she mighta went down anyway but I imagine it would've taken longer. I guess the brightside is that she wasn't sitting on the bottom.
 
You were in it moving at sea right, she was not tied off at the marina. How did she get back upright like that shot in 45minutes. I'm sorry I'm confused. You are saying a fast interval 2 foot chop swamped her and rolled her in ten minutes!
 
Willy,

She was in the slip. I did jump on board to try and save her, untill she rolled me off!!
 
Tuff way to show-off the FLAIR of a V20... ;D...sounds like you got some GOOD FRIENDS!!...docking w/the bow OUT these days, are ya?? ;) ;D...

OTF, I love your boat, exactly how I would have my V20 (if I had one) layed out....mid 70's model with larger fore deck, leaning post and no bowrail or T-Top. Ever any problems with water coming over that 20" transom? Any idea on how much water she draws with the motor tilted up? If there is any possible way you could measure it, I would truly appreciate it. Thanks
 
Yea, I did see that. I've seen a few Mako 21's where they made splash shields/transom extensions out of aluminum channel and starboard...said it made all the difference in water coming in. I'm not really looking for a project boat, but seeing OTF's rig makes me want an older V20 center. I'd really like to get an accurate draft to help me decide.
