He said that the transom reinforcement was put on by the person that installed the motor. According to him the transom is sound, but the installer was being overly cautious because of the size of the motor.

Is that possible?

As far as the paint, he said that he bought the boat a few years ago and it was green, so he and a buddy painted it white.

I decided to go look at it anyway, its not far from the house and if he is telling the truth it might be worth exploring.

After reading everyones thoughts on it I wouldn't do anything with out an inspection.

Thank you for all the advice, I'll let you know more after I see it.
