Caymanboy thanks for the info. it is raised to 25 the previous owner had the transom done about 7 years ago. i drilled 4 small holes across the transom at equal lengths a few inches from the bottom and the wood is dry, so my next question is , what are knees? is that like a gusset? or the stringer peice that missing were the bait well used to be? thanks again.
