After I had removed the rub rail. It didn't take long to figure out that the boat had been restored once before..... The previous restoration had built up the top of the transom with scraps of plywood and what I think is a Cabosil mixture. It appears that during the previous restoration there were inspection holes drilled in the stringers to check the foam and then sealed as shown with drops of some bonding material.

From everything I've seen on your very careful and efficient tear down it looks like this boat was not previously restored...at least to the level of what you and I call restoration. The previous owner may have replaced the rub rail and painted the boat but everything else that I'm seeing under the deck and at the inner transom is factory work.
You are doing a great job and when it's finished you are going to be so happy knowing what is under your feet is solid and sound. Keep up the good work!
