[QUOTE="heath, post: 474862, member: 23489"] [b]My first real question for you experts pertains to the transom.[/b] [ATTACH type="full" alt="transom_mount_interior_1.jpg"]106016._xfImport[/ATTACH] interior view 1 [ATTACH type="full" alt="transom_mount_interior_2.jpg"]106017._xfImport[/ATTACH] interior view 2 [ATTACH type="full" alt="transom_mount_exterior.jpg"]106018._xfImport[/ATTACH] exterior view This transom is pretty beat to hell, but feels solid. The variety of clamp marks, dents, and screw holes don't give me great confidence, but this is my first jonboat. Would this give a veteran pause? Also, the interior metal sheet does not extend all the way to the floor of the boat. There is a ~2 inch gap at the bottom and I can reach down around it and feel something inside. It kind of feels like wood, but it might also be some sort of foam. It's hard to tell. Bad drawing attached: [ATTACH type="full" alt="transom.png"]106019._xfImport[/ATTACH] Is that a normal transom design? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
