It has to be done right and also maintained right. You wouldn't believe what we have seen in redoing these boats.
People install trim tabs, baitpumps and transducers and never put any sealer on them. install pedestals and leaning post with no sealer. All access hatches should be removed and recaulked every so often also so to blame the manufacturer is not always the problem.
Did everyone see the plywood we pulled out of the 67. Zero rot.
Couldn't say the same for the transom but these boats with I/O's are very prone to transom rot because of all the areas that water can get into. Actually the outdrive should be completely removed every so often and resealed.
