    Looks to me like he repowered from 2 strokes to 4 strokes and the bracket wasn't able to handle the added weight difference. Ya'll were lucky to get in safely

    Robja got that right he had 2 strokes but didn't add the brackets until he got the 4 stokes I figure the boat is designed to have engines on a certain way and the new ones where mounted to far off the boat and ha to much weight. He has a guy said will fix for 12500 going to reinforce it all the way up the stringers I don't know I think he should look for a hull and switch things over

    Unhappy

    Sh!t happens.

    I was off Vancouver Island last year on an old Grady White when I felt something 'give' with the transom-note I was just a passenger.

    Then the the guide gave the back of the boat some serious looks @ the end of the trip but it looked fine.

    Later I looked @ pic of the thing taken that AM @ the dock-it's obvious it's just moments from disaster-last I heard it was for sale cheap.
