I have the same as yours and i got it as a take off from a mariner for $400

Doesn't mean yours isn't worth more, but gives you a range!!

I say all is not worth more then 50% of new then I go from there with its condition.

They told me at the time I got mine it was $1600 so 50% is $800 then go from there you say yours need work?
Is the power coat in good shape?? That would be my only concern.

Powdercoat is not in good shape. The machine shop will blast and powdercoat for 150.00 though so I may as well do it first, then sale. I would probably make my money back and then some,. ;D

Curious. Will it fit a new transom on a 73 V-20 with rude 150

It should whopper. The transom is curved and the bracket straight so u will have to make shims like Mac.


BUT, its not for sale...yet. ;)

they center box will fit just fine and thats were all the perssure is going to be!!

The curve in the V20 Transom will cause a gap on eaither end of the swim platform.

the gap will be from the end to the just past the 2nd mounting hole.
The gap will be something like 1 3/4 tapered to nothing at the end.

After the install of the bracket I took the wedge and taped into place, drill out the holes, holes will hold in place. I covered all but the under part, so that the wood could dry out and not rot in there.

If I had to do it again I might have used Starboard for the wedge so it would never rot.

But it has been near 5 years now and the wood looks as new today as when I did it.

Could have filled it better, I guess but it is holding and thats what counts!!
