Weird thing. I pulled as hard a vacuum as I could with a Gast 1022, and got maybe half a teaspoon in my jar? I only ran it for 15 mins, but I got nothing after the first minute. Maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought.

When I get a hot dry day, I will try it again. With some heat, maybe I can get some water vapor out. Then I will hit it with some 5200 for a temporary fix.

drill a hole or two near the bottom of the transom, and see if the wood is wet or dry there. Looks like a transom rebuild is probably in order though.

In Boston you have whatever water is in the wood freezing/thawing all winter long. That will ruin whatever wood is still intact.

Looks like transom time soon. Let me know if you need a hand when it comes time.
