transom

I have not used the boat in a couple of years. This fall I spotted cracks in corners of transom cutout. See photos. I decided to fix immediately to stop further damage. The top edge of the transom was caked with old dried adhesive or sealer that fell away easily. The edge was damp all the way...

Hello everyone, I have a 2005 Grady White 330 Express- I just noticed the metal transom bracket is starting to corrode. I fish offshore and was wondering if this will be ok for the rest of this year or if I should pull the boat and get it taken care of immediately. Also, when the boat is...

A project this spring was removing the lower motor bolts and putting some glass “eyepatches” over the inside holes, redrilling, and installing ¼” aluminum plates across inside lower bolt s. New 316 SS ½” bolts. 5” was correct length with plates and 1/8” SS washers. Boltdepot.com is good source...

Well hello everyone, I finally jumped in the hole and started digging with a seafarer 226. I got it fairly cheap and I’m going to be replacing the stringers, transom, and hopefully adding a 4 stroke and platform to the end of the build… If all goes well and we get to the end build. I’ll start...

I purchased my first boat this July, an 86 GW Tournament 19. We've used it all summer (hundreds of miles and many hours) with only minor glitches. However, now that the season is coming to a close here in Maine, I removed the outboard for two reasons: First, the boat came with a 25" shaft...

Hey all, this is the only questionable damage to a 1997 247 advance I am looking at tomorrow on the Starbord Side. This damage was probably from lifting the boat for bottom paint and I and the seller have no idea how old it is... The seller just sent it to me and my concern is that this is...

Hi everyone. I have a 2008 360 Express under contract w twin 350s and “very low hours”. Looking at the transom Photos. Should I buy or run? Appreciate the input.

I am about to pull the trigger on a 1984 (197 Tournament). Not many inboards around and it is in excellent condition. It’s been 20+ years since I have been on the water (maybe that’s why this boat appeals to me so much). the marine survey came back generally positive. With the exception of...

Hi all, first time poster here as I am a young boater who recently acquired a 1984 Grady white seafarer with the notched style transom. It has a 2006 etec 225 for power and sits on a beautiful venture trailer. I did not spend a fortune on this boat by any means and my main concern is...

Need some advice on how to best fix the transom on my 19’ tournament... I pulled the transom aluminum plate that was being eaten away and found some damage underneath, doesn’t appear to be too bad but need to fill it in w something to prevent any more damage. I could mix up some epoxy and try...

Hello all! I could use some advice please. I have a 99 Bimini 306 with twin Verado 250’s and during my last 2 fishing trips, I noticed lots of water being pumped out of the bilge when holding spots for bottom fishing. It was rough both times and a significant amount of water was coming into...
