For V 21 owners -transom modification

[Pipe_Dream]

Holy Thread Revival, Batman!

Anyway, yeah I wish the floor was at least an inch or two higher in the V-20, along with the scupper/thru hulls, especially now that heavier 4-stroke engines are replacing the 2-strokes.

Bringing these threads back from the dead! Ha!

Safety regs gradually became more abundant forcing Wellcraft and others to make changes to their boats. It is a night a day difference between the V-20 and V-21 when you step onboard. Having owned a couple of each now I like the visibility of the V-21 for sure.

V21 Transom
Very nice design, except for the cap to hull seam where Wellcraft used an ill fitting aluminum strip around the transom well. A common method among boat mfg., but this one on the low end as it tends to have a gap around the curvature.
Mine having been redone -eliminating the strip and fusing with solid fiberglass corrected that design flaw, plus had the seam fused and glasses inside the transom too.
Dave is fortunate to now have this “ already done “ which is in part why I say “rate it for 300 hp” as I know the transom is stronger than original !!

Nice looking transom job
They did it? Or did you do it?
How much do you think it would cost to do a 78 transom?
I hate that aluminum cap they put on top of the transom. What were they thinking.

I had boat shops do my V21 transom, not me.

They did a very nice job. I know you don’t want to put down how much it cost but was it less than 4000? And it was done in New Jersey?
If you dont answer my question I understand

Been a few years now but if you’re asking for your own boat, call Joe at Signature Fiberglass NJ and he’ll likely give you idea, plus he’s honest
