Default V-21

I am interested in the mid 90's Welcraft V-21 with the extended transom "bracket". Does anyone know how this transom is designed? Is it molded/integral to the hull, and what is it constructed of?
Thanks

Funny that I was looking into the same question. Wondering if they are prone to transom troubles like the V 20s are?

There are several members here with 21's. I'm sure that they will tell you how it's made and if there are any downsides to it. From what I understand, the 21's transom was designed that way to make more usable space in the boat.

the "Bracket" is an integral part of the hull.

This extended transom is made of fiberglass....it does give you considerable more room inside the boat but is also noted for deadening the outboard noise with the removable splash board in front. I conducted a lil experiment a while back by removing this board and operating at wot and then re inserting it back.....there is a very big difference....

Another plus of the V-21 is the self bailing design......but I really love the 70 gallon midship poly tank.....much better center of gravity than the twin above deck saddle tanks which were only 20 gallons each on my former 74 V-20.......But..........I do miss that hardtop!!
