Welcome to the site! I am in the process of completely rebuilding my '80 V20 right now. I found that every piece of wood in my boat that was rotten. I decided to do a complete rebuild, but I removed all the interior skins and recored with plywood, than new glass with epoxy resin. Before investing in a pour in transom rebuild, i would seriously look at the stringers to see if they need to be replaced also. if the floor has spider cracks, that means the water will be between the layers of wood. possible source of rot. I found that everywhere there was spider cracks, the wood underneath was wet and in some places rotten (even though it was covered for months!). Your boat will have flotation foam under the deck. if that is wet or water logged, that is alot of extra weight. so if you do the floor you may need to replace some or all your foam. the drainage on these boats is lame, so that may be something to look at too. I am increasing all my drainage, and changing the in floor boxes.

This site has been a great help to me, lots of rebuilds here and we all love our boats. look at previous threads, you will find lots of info. Please keep us update with photos! We love lusting after others! and as always, if you have questions by all means ask! It is great to see someone else passionate about these boats.

BTW - you may already know this but.... B.O.A.T. means Break Out Another Thousand. just beware!

oh yeah - I have a CC.... keeping it that way, I like it. There are those who have done conversions on this site, I am sure they will chime in. It is identical hulls between the two, and the CC is lighter.

PS: where are you? (generally)
