I got this boat from my father in law and he bought it new in 1999. I bought it from him 3 years ago, and just last year I stated noticing little bubbles in the paint on the back of the transom. I scratched the bubbles and some of them have little pin holes with water running out of them. There were about 3 of them last year, and I noticed 2 more this year. They are all at the same level (if you drew a line on the back of the boat, about halfway up, all they bubbles/holes would be there), so they are all consistent.
So, I decided to take off the top transom trim and the boards from the 2 back storage compartments. I took some of the foam out form the storage compartments and noticed water sitting in them. Also, there is water sitting in between the wood and the metal on the transom? Anybody having this sort of problem with their boat? I did just get back from a week up north where the boat sat in the water the whole week and we did get some rain. the water was up to the floor boards in the boat. The level of water between the wood and metal on the transom is about the same height as the rain water in the boat. So could the water have gotten back there form that?
I don't like the water in the transom nor do i like these little pin holes showing up on the outside metal of the transom. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or any suggestions about this issue
Thanks
