So I am in the process of taking the deck out to check for rot in the stringers and was wondering exactly what I should be looking for. Also when taking the deck out is it OK to cut the fiberglass tabs along the sides that are currently holding the deck In seeing as I have to re tab it in anyways I will post some pictures of the transom and engine bay when I get home from work but it looks as if the transom has already been doubled up and glassed around the edges but not in the hole for the drive is this suitable? Or should I cut the reinforcing piece out and redo it with glass all the way around including the hole? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
