I completely agree with Ferm on this one... When I redid the the deck and the foam on my 21 last year I noticed that there was about a 3/4 inch gap between the transom and the bracket stringers(?). We filled the gap with putty and then glassed between the two to reinforce the bracket. Sorry I don't have any "before" pics, but I'll take a few "after" pics so you can see what I'm trying to say. I cannot understand why Wellcraft didn't glass over that gap and strengthen the bracket in the first place.
