V 21 transom design

[bgreene]

The good.....
Transom well design is fine....can even keep bait and such as water sloshes in/out a couple inches with wave action on drift .

The design.....
Wellcraft set the top cap with aluminum strip where upper transom well meets lower.
Not the only boat manufacturer to do so - and it’s not the best long term design.

The modification
I had the trim strip removed and upper and lower section of transom “ fused” together by
Signature Marine . They re glasses from top to almost 1/2 way down transom to form a very solid single unit. I had previously had the inside transom “ seam” fiberglassed solid too so likely to last “ forever “ since the transom had also tested dry prior to the work.

Top cap of boat therefore no longer “ removable “ as was from factory, but I don’t plan to ever do that anyway.
