Then he noticed water coming in from the transom, thinks he fixed it, now he has gotten another 200 ETEC. I told him I think the leaks are from stress being put on that transom, taking motors on and off, plus the extra weight on a boat that's 35 years old. He say's they tell him it's fine. IDEAS???? Here's a picture of the boat when they 1st bought it back in 2010, after I washed and waxed.

Too clean to be a fishing boat...lol. Very nice looking!

Lightest 300 hp outboard might be perfect for V !
Since Destroyer and I had transoms “fused solid “
could handle the torque.....

Ridge Runner had a 250 XS on his V20

I never was a fan of the Franken-transom on the V-21. I d fell more at ease with a 250 on a bracket and a V20 that has a fresh transom

Anything more than a 150 is not nessasary,

I have a 225 on mine and it doesn***8217;t feel like too much. I like having the extra power if needed
