The top edge of the transom has exposed fiberglass that is not finished at the factory and is on many of the classic (pre-1990) models. My 1987 Montauk had minor green line separation. A photo will help verify your boat's crack is green line separation and not a stress crack. If you need help posting photos, see this FAQ from the right hand sidebar. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
