[QUOTE="spotco2, post: 278827, member: 6117"] The big vents allow air to circulate in the area under the rear deck where the battery and fuel tank is. If you keep them back there, then yes you need to keep the vents. Those cracks are pretty big but it looks like someone has been in that transom before. There are plenty of well documented Tracker transom rebuilds here, so you're in luck. Under those decks you will find the nastiest bunch of waterlogged foam you have ever seen. I (and everyone else) would suggest pulling those decks and floor and getting that stuff out and replacing it. Congrats on the boat. It can be a very rewarding project to rebuild it. Those old Trackers are fishing machines. [/QUOTE]
