Alright time for an update. I got the motor off the boat (After having to cut the motor bolts) and removed all the bolts in the transom (all of them snapped) and yep, you could probably guess, I need to replace the transom. There was dirt ( not wood) and a few roots. So I'm about halfway done with removing all of the old wood. A buddy of mine as saying that it isn't too hard to replace the wood. *I was going to float test, but before I could, *the wife said don't even think of going out and buying new wheels for the trailer. Christmas is in 2 weeks. (guess what I know what I'm getting for X-mas.... but like I said, I didn't pay a dime for it and it will definantly be good practice on repairs.
