we will need to see a picture, If it has been repaired before, no telling what could be wrong.

I just repaired my transom over this past winter. Like binkie mentions, post a few pics so we can take a look at what you have going on.

Tom -
What you are describing is commonly referred to as "Green line seperation". 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.
