Been there Done that, My boat is an 89 23cc. There are no drains in the stringers all they done was put a 3in notch in the stringers at the transom, it will still hold 3 0r more gallons on each side. remove the console,center hatch,fuel tank, and you will find where the stringers are coming loose from the hull,Also where the water is standing on the outside of the stringers it seeps thru the glass into the transom.Had my transom checked by a pro,said it was good, when i got into the transom there was no wood left. They really use alot of glass in the transoms. There are alot of pics if you look up( salvagefirst 23) posted on 3/26/05, it will show you everything that you may run in to. Good Luck, Les
