Am I correct that anything covering the transom is a possible sign of a weak transom? Maybe I'm paranoid because my 84-year-old dad's recent purchase (I never saw the boat until AFTER the purchase) of a 20' SF had diamond-plate covering the transom, and...well...turned out the transom was shot.
Looking forward to photos...and maybe a better description of how the transom is covered...
