Newer motors
Opti and HPDI under 500lbs ...........but the Evinrude DFI or Etec at 525 lbs
is 75 -105 lbs heavier that what the V21 was originally spec'd for.
So question is - did Wellcraft build the transom well design to handle a lot more weight or did they cut it close.
I don't know anyone who's reported disassembling the V21 transom completely to report on structural integrity.

Look up my post on repairing the deck of my 96. I think there's a pic in there of the transom. I wasn't too impressed with the way that they attached the engine well to the transom. That being said, my engine (91' 200 Merc @ 410 lbs) hasn't fallen off, and I don't know of anyones that has..... so I guess they know more than me.
