| I got so upset by rotten transoms when looking for mid to late 90's aluminum boats, went to go and look at 4 separate boats, all of them were rotten. If you do what these guys said it will be pretty obvious. There will be cracks in the aluminum where motor connects to transom and if you wiggle the motor up and down it will flex. Also if you can look under the floor in the back sometimes where the batteries and bilge would be, take a key or screw driver and poke the wood transom in the back. After the first bad transom when looking it was the first thing i did when first got to the aluminum boats, and 2 out of 4 i would take my truck key and it would go right into the wood like wet paper... I eventually switched to fiberglass bass type boats to elude this problem and have not regretted it.. YET | |
