2 year old Barefoot International B204V Deluxe Quad V-Drive Boom. These things are tough to ship so local pickup only. It is presently located in central Montana however we are traveling to northern WI (I94) in late June and could deliver along the way. The picture is a stock photo however the actual boom is in excellent condition.

For what it's worth, this v-drive boom will also fit an inboard having a factory pylon in front of the engine box and windshield sides extending aft of the pylon.
I have it on my 85 southwind. BFI sent me the b204v when I ordered the b204, Mike Seipel called me and guaranteed that the only difference is the clamp and offered to walk me through the install. Sure enough, it mounted just fine with the v-drive clamp without his help.
Just wanted to throw this out there to increase your audience.

The flats are machined at different angles too because on a v-drive the clamp is always higher than the gunnel, which would result in a downward pointing boom.

The v-drive clamp functionally is the same but built different.

You can always buy a different inner boom section, that's really the only difference between models. The v-drive clamp would work just fine on a direct drive.

Seipel told me that the only difference is the clamp. I figured that the manufacturer would know. Point is that it fits fine if you are looking for a pre-owned boom at a good price and don't have a v-drive.
