Picking up our newly purchased V-20 on Sat

I came across a real nice deal from a friend I have known for a few years. His Father in law did not use his cream puff 86 V-20 cuddy and wanted to get it from under his barn. 150 Yamaha 4 stroke 88 hrs on the meter. NOt a scratch on motor. My family owned a 77 and an 88 so I was quite familiar with the boat when we went to look at it. It was not exactly what Iwas looking for but when I saw it I knew it was the one. After some friendly negotiating we came to an exceptionally good price with electronics included. Many fond memories in the two my family had owned. One being the only time I have ever gotten sea sick. 7-8 foot swells going thru our pass and me chumming over the transom with balogny sandwiches (gulf was much calmer after getting thru pass). That was in the 77 which was 3 years old or so when we got it, 200 evinrude on it and it would fly. Boat is solid and clean and look foward to taking it out. I just tried posting a pic of it but after it finishes loading it says upload failed? Any input on why I can't get pics to load on this site. I post them all the time on other sites. Any of you guys around Pensacola?

Good try, Mack...

I'm still usin' Photobucket, but can see why others don't...you'll need a photo-hosting site to post pics here...PB is free and not too big a PIA...see the "How To" section on this forum for details...

Sounds like a creampuff you've run across...look forward to pics!!...:pic:
 
Hi and welcome.

Like Reel said, Photobucket is the way to fly for pics. Just register there, (free), then upload the pics to that site, then click on the ones you want to see here, then copy the link [img yourphotos img] and paste it where you want in your post.. poof... all done!!

Good luck with your new toy. Loof forward to seeing her pics. And yes, lots of ppl on this site from Fla.
 
Hello and Welcome Lee!

Nymack, that is why I made my photobucket username and password the same! If I forget one I forget them both.
 
Thanks

Thanks for the input. Now it all makes sense. I'll go get signed up a photo bucket and get a few pics up when I get that bad boy in my driveway on Saturday. You all have a good weekend they weather is perfect here right now, finally.

Be sure you select a password for PB you can easily recall in the future...these old pharts around here don't seem to be able to remember theirs too well...ha, ha, ha....like mine I set up way back in '03 and being the oldest of these young whipper-snappers, recall mine readily...it's apafoo....apafoosabuggin...foosa bugginapa...oh yeah, I got it written down right here..now where is that damn thing...bugginappafoosum...what was that dog's name?...or was it my 2nd grade teacher (they kind of looked alike)...aw crap...:head:
 
Reel? I think I have you beat in age.. but maybe not. I'm ........ ummm... wait a min, I have it written down here somewhere... Errr..... let me get back to you on that one. :head:
 
Welcome I am new here is well. I live in the mobile al area. I picked up a V20 for free and currently redoing transom and converting to a center console. Good luck with your project.:clap:
 
So we picked up the V20 yesterday. EVerything went well. We had to get all the dust off and some pigeon crap. Due to people actually taking care of this boat, it shined right up and is white as can be. I am really amazed at how good of shape it is in. Even has the original owners manual from 1986. JUst a few more hours work and it will be ready. Can't wait to run across Escambia bay!

Wow! That thing is in great shape. From the pics she looks good as new. Let me know how you like the F150. My father might repower his v20 with one.
 
:clap:Best of both worlds for sure!!...that is the same motor Franco had on a nice McKee CC when Willy and I visited him way back when...that is a SWEET power plant and should do well on your new V-20!!...NICE find, Lee...hope you can show us some more pics...we're REEL ****s about boat porn around here...:hide:
 
very nice; do you know if the starboard cutting board on top of that transom box came with 1986 models? or other years for that matter! as factory equipment.I have it on mine but didnt notice it on many v-20s. :head:
 
The cutting board looks factory to me. Whoever had this boat kept it very original, the seats I think have been changed.

We need to register it, hook in the electronics buy some new flares and we will be good to go. The weather has been perfect and the inland water smooth as glass.
