The V-drive talk in my house won't go away... So, here we are again with an updated (lowered) price.

Any opportunity to improve this boat from a performance, function perspective has been performed while being considerate of not losing the heritage and timeless style. Everywhere I go it draws more attention than newer towboats.

Trailer is not original, but very solid. Tows great and loads, unloads with ease. Wouldn't hesitate taking it 500 miles tomorrow.

My family really wants a v-drive. So, if someone has a 20' (private lake rule) v-drive project I may be interested.

Boat is located in Greater Cincinnati.

I am curious about how/why you used two different shops. Was Antique Boat Center not able to do stringers? I'm in Cincy with a 1990 Conbrio that needs floor/stringers and am looking at options.

Antique Boat Center can / could have done the stringers. Based on time, existing other restoration work in place - ABC actually recommended having Donny @ Bennett's do the work. It worked out great for all.

I had the same problem in 2008 . Wanted to surf but didn't want to ruin my 89 sunsport tiring to make it surf. I ended up keeping my 89 and buying a new V drive surf boat.
You will never find another boat like the one you are selling . The 10-13k you will get for it will not make that much difference towards the new boat and you will regret selling it forever. If I had to have one boat gone it would be the 08. It is easily replaced
