[QUOTE="mmf, post: 215574, member: 4379"] That is a nice find. Make sure to [u]check the plywood in the transom[/u], usually when the floor is rotten the transom is too. My transom on my 1990 tracker was rotten along with the floor. It looked good and I took a core sample next to the top and it checked alright, however when I drilled into it close to the very bottom part where it ends, it was falling apart rotten, I'm glad I checked it and it was a pain to replace it too, had to cut weld joints but in the end it worked out great.
