congrats on your new love..uh the boat that is!
if curiosity gets the best of you on whats inside that transom...get a hypodermic syringe and fill it with marine grade epoxy...with a 1/8" drill-bit drill a few holes above and below the water-line at several different points of interest...if your bit drills out natural colored, dry wood shavings that's the best news you could hope for! if those drillings are dark and mushy moist, then your transom is as rotten as mine is!
once you're finished drilling holes in your new boat; if the wood is fresh and dry pump the holes full with your epoxy-loaded syringe...if it's dark and moist, allow a few days drying time before epoxying holes...they make a special epoxy(west marine) for this proceedure
i've heard this is how boat appraisers check inside hulls...personally i don't know if i got kahunas big enough to do it or not...didn't have to...i got a small, hair line crack just above plug hole that weeps tea colored moisture....no mystery what's goin' on there
anyway...best to you and your new love
