V21 Transom
Hi guys. New member, I came to get encouraged. I looked at a V21 (and want to thank the owner for his time and hospitality) that needs transom work. It looks to need the full monte and not just a hollow out and pour, or just doing the face of the bump out. Does anyone have pictures or insight into the repair. My hackabilly style would just come 2 inches in from all sides and cut the outer skin off, but the way the stringers attach is kind of mystifying to a new guy. Do you guys shave off the bump and go straight to a bracket?
I love the layout and I'm looking for a looooong term boat that will work well in the Chesapeake and fit into my type of boating. I have an off brand center console now and the dual console is a much better layout for us. I'm not scared of the work involved if the return is worth it.
Oh, I may have a million more questions depending on your answers and my wife's comfort level with a new project. Thanks in advance for any help, somehow I feel welcome here already. The current owner of the boat is a member of this site and was extremely helpful and kind, that may have a lot to do with my perception of the type of person that frequents here.
