IMO, it doesn't look like a big job to add support yourself as long as there has been no damage yet. From the photos that I have seen, the stringers tie into the transom, and the older models need the addition of a "bracket" to strengthen the connection of stringers to transom. If you search on thehulltruth you will find a few reports of this happening.

Thanks.
I have read as much as possible on the 25 ft. hulls and can't find anything that the transom issue referenced was a systemic problem. There also seems to be confusion as to whether the issue (as such) pertained to early or late 2000 production years.
Anything that can be added by our knowledgeable fan base would be MOST appreciated.


Thanks!
