hoppin,
The Mills canvas site has the same part numbers for 1978 to 1989......

So yes, it will...

Went to site and clicked on products. They have one forward shelter for hulls BEFORE HULL number 8A1037 and one for AFTER. My hull number 8A0051.
Your reply helped point me to the way to figure this out. Thank You kindly!!!!

I didn't notice that until you mentioned it.
I wonder what the difference is in the hull before that serial number?
Any idea?

I believe it is the difference in the V20 outrage (prior to 1986) and the Outrage 20 (1986 on). Just a guess though. The canvas I am looking at is from a 1986 Outrage 20.

You might check with the seller.
1986 seems to be the transition year.
Ask them if the boat that this came off of had the removable bow steps.
If it did, then this was a V-20 model....
If it had the bow steps built-in, then it was a later model and apparently will NOT fit.

Sent pictures of his boat, of course with my luck the steps are built in.
Joe thanks for your replies.
I may try calling mills to see if it is possible to make it fit. Will let you know what I find.

If Mill's tells you they won't fit, ask how hard it would be to alter them to fit.
You might find a local place to alter them if Mill's is too far.
