Transom Problems

[TwoWisemen]

The boat has been through alot, it was a charter boat out of Jax, a pleaseure boat on the Suwannee River(?!?), and then before I got it, sat in a barn for 3 yrs without touching the water. After I bought it, it spent 3 months with mechanics making sure everything was clean and lubricated. It had twin 150 Yamaha's and was very low in the back. Whoever had twin motors put on, had the transom raised 5" (I could tell when I removed them and started sanding off years worth of bottom paint). I could see where the old motor mount holes had been repaired by a resin coated dowel. To my knowledge, that is the proper way to repair those holes. I guess I'm reluctant because I've been had twice by different people since I've owned the boat and I can't afford to have work done that is not necessary, or to pay for work that doesn't get done. Thanks for the info, guys. I'll try to post some pictures this week.
