    I rigged many older ones, def had wood transoms, as the drill dug out plywood when mounting the motor. The floors and decks were thick glass with foam core. Hull is filled with corrugated foam hat sections with chop over it. Cut floors to install a sub floor rigging tube and made cut outs for bilge sumps to mount bilge pimps, thru hulls for live well pumps and shoot thru hull transducers.

    Yes. The older boats have wood transoms. I have no idea when the switched but the new boats are 100% wood free.
