Bring a large rubber mallet and whack the Transom all over, especially around the motor bracket bolts, and everywhere else. Listen for distinct differences in sound, indicating rot, Transoms are expensive as I found out. You can do the same on the decks etc but usualy you will feel any soft areas as you walk on them. Unless you already plan on redoing the transom in that case ignore this. Great luck on the boat though the ride is a Worlds difference from a v20.
