I guess that I can see the points above and do understand "planned obsolescence" ......just hat it when it is put into practice (potentially) at my expense :-)

I just dodged a bullet with a "wet" hull on a V21 that I really loved and almost pulled trigger on. My marina found the issue during a pre-purchase inspection....

Second video shows mud or sand in the back of the boat, he could have hit a sand bar at a good clip and ripped out or broke the bolts....transom looks intact

Yes Wellcraft and many other boats have transom problems but my V20 was 35 years old this year and it was still solid!!

Most as already said are 20+ years old! The cost for a new transom is tons cheaper then a new boat that may have the same problems!

So fix it and be good for life or spend $100,000 grand and be happy, you decide!
