Re: SeaCraft transom/etc
Scott/All,
I pulled the trim along the top of the transom off last weekend. I addition, I pulled all the screws out of the transom (trim tabs, etc). No water came out, and the wood seemed to be intact. The top where the trim was did not seem to be sealed too well (I don't know if this is characteristic of SeaCraft, or done by the previous owner). I cleaned out and opened up that area and put a space heater on it for 5 days. I came back and epoxy glassed the entire area on top between the hull and the liner. I rebeaded all the screws. The wood seems to be pretty solid. After all this, I retested the transome for wetness, and it was 15-20%. I will watch and wait for now.
