Re: transom flex?
Flounder makes a good point. Its not your bad luck as much as it is the nature of the beast. Solid transom V20s are probably the exception more than the norm, especially with the crappy transom cap they always had on them. Heck even my 18 had a little wetness in the top from the cap and its a 90 model. :-/
It would seem to me if you were to find a V20 with a completely "flexless" transom it would be either..a later model...or one of the few that was well maintained and kept covered. I would'nt mind having one that was "less than solid", but as far as how much flex, well thats just up to the individual. What would be ok for someone else may not me to me or visa versa. my .02 ;)

Re: transom flex?
I don't have any flex at all, O yea I have a full transom! ;D
Start lookingfor a I/O or seadrive, I garrtee you they will be solid and theres nothing better the a full transom! Brackets are all over th place and its easy to convert! I know you hate to have to work on one, but really you could have the back filled in and a bracket installed in 2 or 3 days if you wanted to!!

Re: transom flex?
Previous owner replaced the drain plug and took the time to clean everything up, but didn't bother to reseal the wood. Nice and mushy.

Re: transom flex?
Well you guys are going to crucify me, but I bought a flats boat instead. Got one that is pretty nice, but needs some engine work. Pics will follow later.
