Thanks for the reply. I am going to look at it in about 2 hours. The bunks look like they sit flush with the transom. I asked the guy about the weld crack issue and he said he also knew about this problem when he bought the boat but there are no cracks and the boat takes on no water nor has that area been fixed or welded on. It has a 60hp Merc 4 stroke. I'm excited to see it as it will be my first boat. If the boat sits truly flush on the bunks do you think that will be an issue? Should I try to get the bunks further out to prevent the hull from cracking? Thanks for your input and your experience. I truly appreciate it. If I buy it and it does crack at some point, at least its aluminum and can be welded and repaired fairly easily. If I buy the boat I may eventually want some picture of your repair weld and reinforcement just incase I ever have to have that done. Thanks, and tightlines!

Rhuff. I am looking at a 2008 Triton VT17 today. What year is your model and have you had both a 2007 and 2008? How did you fix that crack in your transom after JBWeld? I hear that the 2007 is the most common year for this issue. I will check the 2008 I am looking at though. Do your bunks come all the way to the transom or stop a few inches back? Thanks... If you see this
