V21 Transom Repair/Modification
I have a 1993 V21 and just noticed the other day that the engine mounting bolts and washers for my 150 outboard have broken through the fiberglass. I noticed earlier this year that the aluminum cap they used was pulling away creating a gap for water to enter into which I assume is why it has softened enough for the bolts to start to break through. I am pulling the boat for the season and plan on replacing the transom over the winter or in early spring of next year. Has anyone on here replaced a V21 transom or does anyone have links to more info on it? Also kicking around the idea around of doing away with the splashwell design and replacing it with a traditional style transom and then adding an engine bracket with integrated swim platform. Has anyone ever done this or heard of someone doing this?
