Hi. I’m wondering if there are any threads pertaining to redoing the floor on a 1977 silverline Hilo. The floor is incredibly rotten, and I’m wondering if the transom is also most likely rotten and how I’d check the transom. Thanks!
Lots and lots of threads on how to repair a rotted floor, transom, and stringers.. for your specific boat? Probably not. The good news is they are all pretty much the same...
If yourfloor is rotten, then the stringers and transom most likely are. Drill some test holes and evaluate the wood chips.. if they come out dark and mushy then go buy a respirator, some tools, and some baby powder, if they come out light and dry, go buy a lottery ticket.
