I stood on the motor and jumped up and down. The transom still seems solid. I drilled a hole near the bottom of the bracket portion of the transom, the wood is dark in color indicating that the rot has begun and water runs out of the hole. Further outboard beyond the bracket on the port side, the wood is still light in color, but it is wet. Ultimately the entire transom needs to be done. I have not done this type of repair before although with the experience on this forum I'm sure I could get it done. What I really lack is the time and the desire to do it. I think I will be able to get the most for the boat by parting it out. I am expecting a buyer tommorrow morning to pick up the Honda 150 motor and controls. He is also buying the seats.

I am taking offers on the boat and trailer as is without the motor.
Or individually I will sell:
Trailer
Windshield
Bimini (new last year)
Cabin cushions
Lowrance Elite 5 (about 3 or 4 years old I believe)
built in tackle box
boat cover and support pole/straps
Trim tabs
washdown pump
bilge pumps
fishing rod holders
sliding hatch and cabin door
platform and 2 step ladder
Teleflex steering gear
Teleflex Tach, fuel, and voltage gauges
VHF radio
antenna
horn
dual battery switch

If anyone is interested in anything, let me know
