New Member, New Boat
I am purchasing a 1979 v20 fisherman center console.
It has a 1987 Evinrude 225 VRO on it. The transom from pre purchase inspection is a little soft, but not 100 shot, yet. The boat sat on the trailer, shrink wrapped for the last 10 years. The floor feels solid, and the stringers look decent, the parts I could get at. Is there a good way, besides a hammer, to check the key stringers? I really don't want to tear into this boat right off. The only thing it "needs" is a major tune up and hydro steering. I'm going to add new control cables while running steering hoses. Has anyone done a composite/pour transom in the CC models?

I actually knew the seller. He lives 2 blocks away and handles moving and shrinking my formula. I got a "good" price..
Hope it's as solid as it feels..

And now a word from our safety officer:.....
If your transom is soft, and you're running a 225hp engine, make sure you are all wearing your life jackets at all times. Also, tie a long rope with a bouy on one end to your boat bow eye, so they will know where to look for it after it sinks. There was a boat that sank and killed 2 people just outside of Barnaget last year that had a soft transom. Transom let go, water poured in and the rest was a tragity. And you're running the max hp which means you're going to be putting the max strain on your soft transom. It's a sure recipe for a disaster. Fixing a transom is really not a hard job, open it, scrape out the gunk and pour a new one. There's lots of guys on this site that have done it and there are plenty of posts on the subject. Read...heed...live. Oh... and welcome to the site. Good to have you aboard.
