These pics now show " before " ........during........and " after "

I plan to apply an edge guard to the outer transom well, just haven't picked a type of edge yet. Suggestions ?

I discarded the original aluminum trim ......it was shot, and I believe a " rubber" type better now.

Bg,if you get a chance, what's the measurement on the deck from the cabin door to the transom. Just courious to see how much bigger the deck area is on a 21 vs a 20.
 
Phat, just measured and it is exactly 11 feet. Probably depends on which model V20, but I'd imagine it is bigger than some and smaller than others. For example I'd bet my old 73 v20 was bigger but not sure.

Went to the boat today and got 10'11" but that was with cuddy door closed so likely 11'

I don't believe the V21 bigger than the V20........I guess it's just the transom well that makes it 21'
I know the floor was lower in the V20, making deeper freeboard. Not sure why Wellcraft raised the floor in the 21.
 
Seeing the finished pictures I think you have enough protection from the motor and transom that you may not need a molding.Hard to tell by a picture but was the repair completed with jelcoat or paint?

Gel coat........multi layers........sprayed on the right way
 
Greenie, that is an awesome job. I like the way it looks without any trim on it, but protecting the top from things falling on it seems a prudent idea. I'm thinking if I ever do mine that way a layer of white truck bed liner just on the top will look boss and will protect all my hard work. In all cases, that's a really good job. Well done sir, well done. :clap::clap::clap:
 
Thanks D - followed your lead on the transom inner reinforcement.

The way Wellcraft built it, top of transom well is part of upper cap, and lower part of hull.
Now, these sections are joined, seam under the trim eliminated, glassed in so it's all
more rigid too.

Too bad hp rated for only 200 or we could rig even more power on these transoms ! :)
 
Now I' re rigging the pumps, oil tank, battery and such.
I don't work fast.......it's slow going refitting under the tarp - snow or not.
 
I might not make it as a marine engineer......... I work too slow...... still installing all the stuff that goes back into the transom accesses - port and starboard.

Didn't look like a lot of wires and hoses coming out........seems they multiplied going back in !
