Impressive list...seatback for wifey would shoot to 1st position if mine...LOL!!...
About yer transom...my newly acquired '84 HAS a 25" transom...so how did yours become a 20" for somebody to build up like that...did Wellcraft offer both back then?...  ...and the reason you didn't see the inside crack is because what we see looking at the back of the splashwell is not the true inside of the transom wall...what you see is part of the "cap" that fits into the stern position against the transom...if you pulled the entire cap off the hull, that piece would be a part of it...

In the 80's you could order either a 20", 25", or SEA-DRIVE for an outboard V-20. Along the way many would cut a 25" down to a 20 when the top of the transom would get soft instead of rebuilding it and this would buy some time before a rebuild.

Well I guess they'd have to replace the motor instead of fixing the transom... ...they musta had motors squirting outta their a$$es...but at least it explains the question...

Sounds like a hell of a plan....as I was reading your post I was sure you were going to end up with "and thats why I'm sellin' the boat fellas and moving onto to something else" Was pleasantly surprised when I read your plan. Good luck with it and dont forget photo documenation

Well it's been a week and a half or so And I can't just not post till she's done So I guess this makes number 2000.
Made a few changes since the last post. Decided to remove all the non-skid on the front deck over the cuddy and the tops of the gunnels. Gonna go with a smooth finish. This should cut down significantly with the scrubbing and cleaning, as well as give her a more clean and somewhat custom look. I also decided to install a Blue Seas Systems automatic charging relay and dual circuit battery combiner in place of the 1 both 2 off switch that I have now. I installed a Blue Seas switch panel when I redid my dash a couple years ago and am impressed with the quality and functionality of their products. I decided to change out both bilge pumps with everybody posting stories of 20 footers sinking and am thinking about adding a third just for overkill. The ones I'm installing are Rule 1500 fully automated pumps with the built in float switch. These cost a little more than installing ones with separate float switches, but I figure it's a cleaner install with fewer wires to become accidently disconnected. I purchased two new Interstate batteries from River Supply in Thunderbolt. They were even cheaper than the Interstate distributor in Rincon. One battery is a deep cyle for all the house loads and the other is their extra heavy duty cranking battery which will be dedicated for starting. I'm wondering what size wire to run from the new forward battery compartment just aft of the cuddy door to the engine. I'll be routing the wires up behind the helm and down the inside of the gunnel to the transom.. I'm thinking either 2 or 4 gauge? Tell me what ya'll think. That's all for now.
