1988 wellcraft v20 sportfish dual console with a 2000 225 zuk efi..top of the line raymarine electronics and every bell and whistle(some of which i might sell)...boat is clean, motor and trailer immaculate..put it in the driveway at my parents house and have driven by it 3 times already just to look...this will be the longest time of my life until i can splash her..boat should do 50 plus not that i would ever go that fast.. should have some pics up tomorrow

Congrats! Be careful when you change your waterpump. The grade of stainless they used sucks!

 

[angler dave]

chad thanks..the pump was replaced by a zuk dealer in 08 and lightly used since..i will probably try to get this season out of it and then will have it done by my marina..its funny how i felt when my last boat went down the road without me,,that was the opposite of how i felt as my new boat followed me home

 

[Capt. Chad B. PE]

The impeller will be fine. Its the impeller housing bolts that might not come out. FYI, on my 2000 twins, we broke off half of them and it cost a few hundred bucks to have them machined out. The motors ran great, but werent very corrosion resistent.

oh you'll go that fast , its fun. especially at the crack of dawn and the bay is as flat as a mirror

 

[fearnofish]

congrats angler dave your so right it will feel like eternity till you splash her. a good compound and a few coats of wax will help pass the time when the weather warms a bit

 

[SeaSparks]

Sure you will never to 50!!! I give it the third day you have it out... and want to blow by some gofast in the ICW!!

Congrats with the new boat.... cant wait to see the pics

 

[angler dave]

few pics without the bimini and full encloser which is for sale...the encloseure is for sale probably going to keep the bimini it is stainless with dual poll supports

 

[DRIFTER1]

Good luck with your new boat. I had a 20ft stepv myself. Keep an eye on the drain tubes at the transome. They tends to leak and allow water to soak the transome.

 

[TheAdamBomb]

Nice looking rig! Now I won't be able to tell you from your brother unless I am looking at the transom!

 

[angler dave]

thanks guys...adam.. ryans is a 79 with the closed bow and mine is an 88 open bow.. i guess we like v20's...my biggest concern is figuring out how to use the raymarine electronics

What units do you have?? There are tons of guys on here with them, and there are some great videos out to help..

 

[angler dave]

seasparks...i now have a raymarine ds600 digital color fishfinder, which i am starting to figure out and shouldnt be a problem( my old unit was a garmin 120) raymarine a60 rs12 color gps chart plotter fishfinder( the fishfinder option is not currently hooked up to the transducer) i have only tinkered with it for a few minutes and it looks difficult..i am going to read the manual this week and take a serious crack at it next weekend(old unit was a garmin 152)

 

[angler dave]

seasparks..i basically want the gps to work like my old garmin..which was pick where i wanted to go and it drew a line on my screen that i followed, and it told me total miles and eta..i know this unit will do a lot more but i would like the basics at first

 

[Mulv80]

The Original!

That bass boat you bought may be faster but she aint as classy:razz:

 

[beber]

:thumbsup::thumbsup:for another Wellcraft V. I have the baby sister and love it.

 

[Bob ECT]

Congrats on the new boat

 

[Fillet1]

Congrats! I had one before as well with a closed transom and bracket. Great boat. Its a mini carolina hull designed by Ray Hunt. I wish someone would make a mold off of one and build them again.
