My v20 has a rotten transom and stringers , don't know how far the stringers are though. I have the motor off and 80% of the transom picked out. I have the walk through type hull. The motor works great, Everything else on the boat works great. I don't really want to finish the repair, so I am entertaining sale or solutions to this.
