I've seen several of these transom rebuild threads and mention (or pics) of an aluminum brace. What years / size boats have this? I have a 2000 Chase, so curious if mine has it. It would seem to almost eliminate total transom failure unless you just completely ignore it and it's totally rotten...

In all honesty, I've been toying with selling mine, so look daily at what's out there and what else is avail for me to move into. The cheapest Chase near me (FL) was $25k with original twin OX66 and just sold (quickly I'll add). Now the cheapest is mid $40k with 2k hr 4strokes. That's kinda how...

Thrilled to have a Grady White to my name (I think - ha!). I just bought the boat a few wks ago. Previous owner had it for 3 yrs and it was kept in the water. I see some corrosion around the bang plate and although I'm a lil wary with all the transom stories, I don't see any swelling and it...
