V21 transom project

[buckleyjr]

Go Bgreene! save her! Thats a true wellcraftv20.com boat. In fact, those cabin cushions were actually from my V21. I gave them to Parrot free of charge since I wasn't using them and he was looking for them. And I thought they were really ugly. I don't want them back, just noting that the boat has history here.

Bought the transom doors from RB437 and it solved my need for the latch.

Damn!

Sold the boat last night to gentleman who lives just a couple of miles away. He seemed both eager and capable of getting this boat fixed and back on the water soon. I mentioned the forums to him. He said something about a cult. I'm sure everyone is curious to see a V21 transom rebuild so hopefully he stop by here for a little "Kool-Aid" and post up some pictures of the repairs.

My only regret is he lives close by. I fully expect one day to see her go cruising by me. I know I will be a little jealous, but that's the choice I made. Best of luck to the new owners. I have no doubt that in the right hands, there are quite a few more years of enjoyment left in that boat.

That's a good outcome! I would have driven down if it came to a landfill. Glad she found a home.

Glad she found a home!

Yep, Good Job rb! Glad she found someone who will get her bottom wet.

Rob, keep an eye out for her at Sandy Point. I think there's a good chance you'll see her again.

Further outboard beyond the bracket on the port side, the wood is still light in color, but it is wet. Ultimately the entire transom needs to be done. I have not done this type of repair before although with the experience on this forum I'm sure I could get it done. What I really lack is the time and the desire to do it. I think I will be able to get the most for the boat by parting it out. I am expecting a buyer tommorrow morning to pick up the Honda 150 motor and controls. He is also buying the seats.

I am taking offers on the boat and trailer as is without the motor.
Or individually I will sell:
Trailer
Windshield
Bimini (new last year)
Cabin cushions
Lowrance Elite 5 (about 3 or 4 years old I believe)
built in tackle box
boat cover and support pole/straps
Trim tabs
washdown pump
bilge pumps
fishing rod holders
sliding hatch and cabin door
platform and 2 step ladder
Teleflex steering gear
Teleflex Tach, fuel, and voltage gauges
VHF radio
antenna
horn
dual battery switch

If anyone is interested in anything, let me know

How much for the trim tabs, electric?
washdown
rodholders
VHF

Thanks
Bryan
