15 year old boat
My XF20 is about to turn 15. She’s a little rough around the edges but is still very seaworthy. No regrets with building a plywood boat …

Won’t be too difficult. The hull, stringers and deck are sound. Need cosmetics on the topside, a little wiring upgrade and a new ptt motor on the outboard.

Re: 15 year old boat
Based on the last time I saw that boat calling it a little rough is being way harsh. I spent a lot of time looking it over and failed to find a flaw.

Re: 15 year old boat
Good to hear from you AA, sounds like it won't take much to take her back to new, just time and some money. Those Yamaha's just keep on ticking don't they.
