i am betting its junk!!  but if you want to ck, just drill a few 1/4 inch holes from inside and if you get wood great, if you get dirt its junk! 
 
BS has a boat that has a 1/2 inch plate inside and out on his transom as big as the back of the boat and it is solid as a rock!! 
 
lots of transom rebuilds on here look in the search and find them you have options on how to do it  
 
good luck!!
