motor well/transom cracks v-21

[willy]

hey you guys with the v-21 i talked with the dealer in virginia that has that 96 v-21 that was posted last week for sale. he says it is in good shape except for what he desribes as stress cracks on each side where the extended motor well meets the transom. is this a normal area on these boats for that and is it a problem or something that is gel coat only repairable kind of thing. he sayd he can't tell how deep they are , does'nt sound like he is too saavy on boats

Hey Willy, why dont you just write me a damn check and be done with it!!!!

[willy]

i want to but you got so d**n impressed with your work you quit talking to us mere mortals and decided to keep the boat

[willy]

hey franco i bet you its been cooler in fla. the past few days than its been here in nj.

[willy]

how do you like the paint job, come out the way you expected

[Franco]

Yeah it came out real well, I think I'm gonna do another light coat with extra stuff so it wont be slick when wet. I having the outdrive pulled as soon as I can get an appointment at the boat place, gonna have the bellows replaced and the outdrive serviced.

[willy]

hey franco is what i heard true about the i/o's that if bellows tears it can actually sink the boat. i read it on the hull truth site, can't remember whether it was a omc/mercruiser/volvo drive the guy was refering to

[Franco]

On some I/O's it could be possible, if the bellows is below the waterline. I'm have some cracking in the upper bellows, several inches above the waterline, I was more worried about the u-joints

FRANCO I THINK YOU JUST BETTER ADD UP THE SALES TICKET AND HAVE IT READY FOR ME WHEN I COME TO FLA. CHRISTMAS WEEK FOR VACATION
