When lifting on the lower unit of the motor, are you hearing any cracking? Do you see any cracks??
That much flex I would not worry about it, just use till you have a problem, could be good for years! But if you really want to go further, go on the inside of the boat, drill a 1/4" Hole start at the bottom and drill a few till you get to he top. When done fill holes with 5200 or something to stop any new water getting in. What comes out of the hole: Dirt is rot! dark or black wood, wet clean wood, Perfect!!

Or borrow a moisture meter and check there first, the good ones will tell you what moisture content there is, if is real bad it tells you on the graph.
All the surveyors and a lot of boat dealers have them and use them all the time.

I did as mentioned and drilled a small hole just above the drain plug and a strong stream of water came out of my transom. I cut the back out of mine and did the dirty work, then bought the beer for a friend that does fiberglass work for a living to finish the repair. He used 3/4 marine plywood (2 thickness) and he used West System resin and hardener and biaxle cloth. My transon came out solid as a rock and I built it up 5 inches so I can use 25 inch shaft motors. I think if I had it to do over I would take the cap off so I could inspect the stringers and repair them if needed. The other suggestion that I have is to not put the drain plug in the original spot (since this puts the bottom of the plug @2 inches from the bottom) and the bilge never fully drains. In the fall I am going to fill in my drain plug and use a garboard type with a "T" handle and put it through the bottom in the bilge. Take lots of pictures and post.

Macajoe I did not originate this thread, I was just confirming your approach. I didn't even know about this site until after I had repaired my transom and had my V20 on the water. And my repair streched out over a 2-3 month period. Sorry if I mislead you with my reply. I sure wish I HAD known about this site prior to reviving the Jetty Rocker.
