[QUOTE="srr5008, post: 197352, member: 4287"] mmf: I've been holding off on checking the transom up until this point because quite honestly, I was scared of the possible outcome. However, I drilled a sample hole this past weekend on the inside of the transom wall, and it appears to be in decent shape. That would make the transom, surprisingly enough, the only piece of wood in the boat that isn't rotten. Bobberboy: I had the same exact thoughts. The hull & structure was all soundly designed, and then they killed it with the foam. I wish I had taken a picture of the float test I did with the waterlogged foam in my pond. It sank like a rock! So it was a double-whammy... It added a ton of weight, and had no floatation value whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
