[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 516709, member: 3438"] Do you have a pic of the inside of the transom? Should be able to tell if it is wood or not from that. G3 might be able to answer, as well. Picure attached of our 2022 all welded transom. My experience with that issue in my 1648 DMI, there was no visable indications on the outside. If there are pin holes on the outter skin, I'd shy away. Has the back of the transom been freshly painted? Only after taking it apart, did I find the "worm tracks" from the corrosion where it was touching the PT wood. Now mine was mostly water logged from many years. Water will accelerate the action, and this was still over 20 years time. Yours being kept dry, might be OK. [/QUOTE]
