[QUOTE="ericman, post: 470062, member: 11909"] The boat looks like it also spent a lot of time in the water, probably next to a dock. I'm also betting there was always enough water in the boat that the transom wood was always wet. If aluminum is always wet and there is just enough air flow, the aluminum will oxidize. I fixed a boat for a client who purchased an old Duracraft to restore and the previous owner had filled underneath the floor boards with poured in liquid foam and it was always wet and the pitting was horrible and there was no wood in contact and no stainless either.
