Hi guys, I have a 67 fiberglass Starcraft boat.it was my fathers I recently inherited. I know I’ll need to replace the transom at some point. When I pull up and down on the motor the motor doesn’t flex off of the transom. I’m trying to save up to replace it. But I also want to use the boat. Is there a way I can check to see if it’s safe to operate?. I pulled the part of the top cap off to check out the wood. It’s dry and isn’t chipping. Any info on how to see if it’s safe would appreciated!
