| Had a question or 2 about the transom. i.e. Has it been cut down? etc No, it has not been "cut down". You can see this in the brochure pic below, the opening matches what is shown in the pic. (Short Shaft setup.) There IS a notch cut on the port side opening.....we did not do that. It was there when we bought the boat in 1982, so it had to have been for the original Merc for some reason. But I don't see any importance there. We left the trim off when we did work to it a while back and sealed the top with 5200.

| Got a reply to my last post on another forum....including it here for help/clarification of the transom notch. Quote: Originally Posted by "Davedowneast" FYI, I have the same boat (1978) and it has the same notch. This is an incredible hull. I took a friend rock fishing in January and when we got back, he said "I wish my boat was that big". My friend owns a 20' Seacraft and what he was saying is that the 20' Wellcraft feels much bigger. I too have some transom issues and plan to do the repairs with a bracket and re-power. By the time I'm done, it will be a 23' and will go just about anywhere. For $2000 and a little work, someone will have a nice boat. My Reply to "Davedowneast" Thanks for this post Dave, kind of confirms my feeling that the notch was either "Factory" or was necessary for the original power, especially with your hull being only a year later. This boat had the original 1977 200 Merc Black Max on it when we bought it in '82. That blew the powerhead in '84.

| I have never had a transom repaired or replaced, but I would venture a guess between $1,000-$1,500 if you have someone do it. Do it yourself, and it's much cheaper for just the material, mostly labor.

| Boat's still at my house for now, but before it gets too much later in the season, she'll be winterized and moved back to my father's house (1 town over). "Let's Make a Deal" LOL
