The recent repower used a 30" shaft F250 yamaha on a 25" transom using some sort of jack plate to get the five inches of lift. The transom is cracking and appears to be caused by this adaptation. Anyone ever heard of such? Also, since the whole boat used composite construction, no wood, what options might be open for repairing the cracks? They seem to be only slightly more than cosmetic and are limited to the upper few inches of the integrated transom bracket's mounting area.

Re: cracked transom

How old is the boat? What type of boat is it (bass boat, runabout, deck boat)?

Welcome to Iboats. Is it possible that the boat was over powered?
