That is a safe bet! ;D 8)
I love to fish. I am fairly new up here to the seasonal fishing and stripers, looking forward to it though! I am from Florida so used to fish offshore mostly. Can't wait to get her out on the bay!
As for the soft spot, it's sort of in the middle of the rear area just in front of and under the bench seat in the rear. I suspect perhaps water could have gotten in either that rear deck plate or the recessed brackets which you screw that bench seat into. I think I will remove both and use maybe 4200 or 5200 on both of them just to prevent further intrusion.
I also need to seal up around the drain tubes in the motor well. I think some moisture may have entered there due to a gap in where the brass tube exits the transom. I removed the scuppers to replace them and some water seeped out of the bottom hole, but it seems dry now. So I'm letting it dry good this week and will epoxy that up this weekend and put on the new scuppers. The transom is solid as a rock, I can jump on the motor and get no flex, so hopefully it's just aorund those tubes. I guess I'll know more when I start drilling to mount a transducer. I figure the more I can do to prevent it now before using the better in the long run.
Thanks everyone and yes Blue should still be top dawg ;D ;D
