[Destroyer]

Sorry, no one here can make that decision for you. It's entirely your call. However, I can direct you to www.youtube for several videos of people and their boats where the transom cracked and the boat either sank or had to be towed back to shore. And of course, earlier this summer just off the coast of New Jersey there was that family of four that all died when their transom gave way and they drowned.. but why bother even mentioning that. I'm sure it will never happen to you... right? (Of course I'm also sure they thought the same thing).

If inside your transom the wood looks like oatmeal then the structural integrity of the transom is gone. Simply put, it is no longer safe.

Look, like I've said a lot of times before. Boating is a a wonderful sport, full of fun and adventure. But if you do not, can not, or are not willing to do the maintenance required to your boat in order to keep yourself safe then perhaps it's better if you take up horseshoes or some other land based sport. That way you won't kill yourself or maybe some other person trying to save you when your boat sinks.

Sorry if I sound a little harsh, I don't mean to, but you have to realize the extreme danger that unsafe boating is. Fix your transom...we want to be talking with you, not about you.
