No it's a 20ft master angler. Can anyone tell me how I could tell if the transome was bad? Besides the ovious transom hanging back an inch or two? Does the transom hold water? Why is it these transoms all need repair?
Thanks Dan
transoms:

alot of transoms are damaged by owners and technicians installing things in a sub standard way-water leaches in,and the rest is history...

testing"
easiest way is to use a small ball peen hammer,tap the glass-listen for a sharp distinct sound,if you hear a dull thud,you hit a bad spot...do this test around any and all entry points-drains,engine,transducers...
i've seen surveyors ues a moisture meter,the meter read zero,i removed a transducer,and the water came running out of the core...lesson here is,make sure the moisture meter is working...
