I went and looked at this old Bayliner an old man is selling and he's owned it since the early 90's it's been garaged every day since. He's too old to use it and it hasn't been moved in years. My main concern is I brought a moisture meter and the transom measure 5-6% moisture almost every where you check. For reference I checked other areas of the hull and it doesn't register anything. I tapped the transom all over with a hammer and it seems ok some spots midway and higher sound different like more hollow but I don't know do that's because it less solid there. I tried lifting the motor to see if the transom flexed but I didn't notice any movement. I'm not too concerned with the mechanics of the boat he only wants $1,000 to get it out of his garage. Is this a huge concern I don't want some major project boat. I don't mind tuning up the engine and replacing the interior but I don't want to replace a transom on a boat that's not worth it.
