Looks like another "Guess the Model" thread, but with a twist, oops!

Yes, looks like an early 20V

[xpjim1]

Looks like an 05 20v. has the same interior pattern as my 24V

[loudelectronics]

05 22v. Has slouching front seats... Best seats ever put into a the bow of a boat.

03 or 04 20V is my guess. 05 would have a different tower...either way you should be able to pick it up cheap!

Looks a little short to be a 22v, my buddy has the same coloring on his 05 22v though. I think that was called the "Limited" Graphics option back then! With the hook still on the eye this could be a good argument for straps on the back and a safety cable/chain on the front... Its a sad day to see her on the ground like that tho!

Tige or flower planter(at this point)??????

[Tault145]

I'd say that depends on someone that knows alot more about fiberglass repair than I do!

Should we re-kindle the "to use transom straps or not" debate?

[Tault145]

I wonder what the story behind the pic is... It would make a huge difference to have some background info. Kinda looks like some "accidentally lowered" power lines in the background...

Is there really an opposing opinion to using them?

[supremedevice]

I was told by a dealer that rear straps are not necessary, as the boat sits so heavy on the trailer there is no need. I was skeptical as i have always used them on outboards and IOs, but he said all they do is just mark up the swim platform. I'd like to hear some viewpoints on here on the subject.

I think for me its simple... just how can they hurt? my rz4 eyes are below anything so no marking up anything.... so why not?

[supremedevice]

The eyelets on my boat are above the platform and VX, so strapping it in would require traversing around them to the trailer eyes which would rub quite hard against the fiberglass. I'll probably end up doing this, but it would be interesting to hear an opposing opinion.

Your dealer is wrong!! Example...loaded my RZ2 on the trailer last Saturday and my wife told me that I was far enough forward, she hooked the strap and safety cable and up the hill we went. I jumped out and started cleaning the boat and when I got to the front I realized that she was wrong. The boat was 3 inches from the roller...since it was already dried off and storage is only 4 miles away I decided to leave it becasue we would be back the next morning. I put the rear straps on and by the time I reached the storage unit it had moved forward 2 inches. I am sure the wet bunks probably helped that but I wouldn't ever travel without them on.
