joined wellcraft V20 community 03/07/2008, with my Dad's 1963 Alim (South Atlantic Shipbulders) that I still have today.
been sitting untouched for decades after removal of the original Volvo Penta B16 80hp I/O was removed for transom rebuild (the I/O ended up in a houseboat in Key West). the curved plastic windshield was removed by a long ago forgotten Hurricane, but the original clear bow hatch is still there.

I've read your post more carefully, and that sounds like an awesome boat. CONGRATULATIONS! Where are you located? My boat shows it's age, but I have jumped in fearlessly, and started WAY TOO MANY projects -- about 30+, and all at once at that. We'll have to arrange to meet up on the water. You can never have too many boating and fishing friends. -Phil. phil@pjb3.com. 703-637-9152

That sounds like a really nice boat. Location-wise, I'm in Arlington, VA

PJ, He said he wasn't going to advertise it, giving me first refusal. I was hot on a 83 20ft Steplift 5.7 up in N.H. but it would never stop snowing to go look at it. Fresh water use since new. I'm glad I didn't go up! This one of Bennett's is almost as cherry as the one I sold 2012. It is featured here in the V-21 gallery. 1996 as well, it was used by an older gentleman down in Spartenburg, S.C. on a reservoir its whole life. It was kept in a building when not out fishing. Amazing. Bennett's boat has had 3 different owners. However it is probably the best V-21 that I know of currently. He did things to it I didn't have the heart to do to mine such as trim tabs and Seastar Hydraulic steering. I am elated to be back in another one! Where are you in Va??

I saw photos of a V21 that someone in NJ was selling, and yes, it was clean and looked awesome. I'm not sure if that was bgreene or someone else... I will have to look to check.
