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.

It is actually a boat that I was about to purchase, but yesterday when I came to hand over my check and take it home I noticed two major finds.
1. The transom seemed very solid and didn't have any flex or cracks of any sort. 2. The genius who decided to put indoor/ outdoor carpet on a fiberglass deck caused it to rot sunstantially and more of the floor was bad than I anticipated. An area about 3' x 7' would have to be replaced. There were two cracks from fore to aft that went from just being a crack that is just seperated to having differences in heights up to an inch or more. Also due to the two cracks that portion of the deck is twist and raised up about 1.5". Based on comparing my measurements from port side to starboard where the deck meets the gunnel in the damaged area it is out posistion to almost level with the center of the floor instead of a few inched higher. So for the price I decided it wasn't worth the price for what I would have to put in it, I would like to find another V20 though in a bit better shape.
