New Member, New Boat

[Barnegat16]

I am purchasing a 1979 v20 fisherman center console.

It has a 1987 Evinrude 225 VRO on it.

The transom from pre purchase inspection is a little soft, but not 100 shot, yet.

The boat sat on the trailer, shrink wrapped for the last 10 years.

The floor feels solid, and the stringers look decent, the parts I could get at.

Is there a good way, besides a hammer, to check the key stringers?

I really don't want to tear into this boat right off.

The only thing it "needs" is a major tune up and hydro steering. I'm going to add new control cables while running steering hoses.

Has anyone done a composite/pour transom in the CC models?
