[QUOTE="mikezohsix, post: 107392, member: 2036"] I was thinking it may have been in salt water based on the fishing gear that came with the boat, but my fishing buddies say that it was set up for deep lake fishing. I have no real way of telling, the original owner, and last guy to run the boat died in 1989. The boat passed to his brother, who never used it, who recently passed, and it was sold off as part of his estate. Now that I've looked at the boat at home after cleaning, I don't think it was in salt water because the rest of the bilge is almost shiney, there's no corrosion around screws and stuff you'd expect from a salt water boat. The transom wood is original, see above. It is not covered or coated. Like I said, I can't get at the inside to see what's going on because of riveted in place aluminum, and foamed areas. My plan is to continue to go through the motor and outdrive to make it reliable, then, assuming all continues to go well, maybe this winter pull the rear floor and try to take the rear section apart. we'll see what comes up.
