Just do it if you have the opportunity. Your'e NOT gonna regret it!
The only tricky thing is less docking maneuverability.
The boat almost jump away when I shift the gears, and idles at 8 mph...

I'm not sure about the year, but I think it is somewhere between 82 and 86.
Probably 82 or 83.

Mine is a 82, there was a friend of mine that had a 81, no notch in the transom. You did a great job on everything. Was the transom wet?????

As far as I know most of the KV's don't have that notch, but I'm not sure..

Kind of...
Not that much around the drives, but much more in the upper section.
I think the water came in between the deck and the hull.
Here's a pic of the old "transom"... 
One more...

That one pic, showing the transom with no gimbal, looks just like mine when I had my gimbals off. Black boat with a white gel behind where the gimbal is. I pulled rotten wood out of mine, but it was in the stringers and bulkheads. I take it, you had some reputable glass guys do the transom....

We replaced/modified the stringers as well.
Just to make sure it would handle the new power.
A last "before" and a "after" pic.
Then I have to sleep. Time is 01:08 am over here...

Did a great job on the re-rigg. Why solid glass transom???
I understand it will never rot again.........But wow a lot of work, Money, and weight.
Looks great though, see you also filled in the grid work on the floor. Did you use balsa wood to do the floor or is that solid glass too?
