I have a 2003 21' with a 200 merc and last year I trailered probably 1500-2000 miles back and forth to the beach which is 45 miles from home. The roads are fairly rough but I did not use any type transom saver. I put it in the tilt position down tight against the lever. I have had no problems at all. However this spring I made some pvc pieces to fit over the 2 pistons so I can lower the engine to a more vertical position. I did this only because I felt in the long run it may be easier on the transom. I plan on keeping this boat for a while and figured every little bit may help. I have owned 3 Seacrafts and am very disappointed in the way they are handling your problem. They need to step up and take care of this. News travels fast in todays world and not handling a problem like this will cost them many times over. Good luck.
