[QUOTE="Colorado1135, post: 393341, member: 18449"] no idea on the age of the transom, I'm guessing original from '73 when it was made. I tried to see if I could see any wood but the whole thing seems to be covered. I tried thumping on it to see if any of it sounded bad and it sounded solid, but if it was it wouldn't be making a pop or crack sound. the first trip I took it I recall it happened 2 or 3 times. I figured it was because it hadn't been out in years and just had a little stiffness to work out? probably sounds bad saying that. if I keep from running the outboard full speed and rely on the trolling motor 95% of the time will she hold up til september? that way my fishing season won't be shot and I'll have the winter to work on it (slow season). right now I'm busier than a... well I'm pretty busy lets say.
