Transom Rot

[Mark Sr]

I'm looking at a 2520 Sport with an I/O. Someone told my son to watch out for transom rot on I/O's.Anyone ever heard anything like this or an I/O owner had any problems.The boat is a 2000.

It always good to look for water intrusion into the hull on any boat before buying, any good surveyor can handle that with a moisture detector and a mallet. transoms are normally the worst as it usually has the most penetrations to leak, especially outboards. But don't let that thought stop you from pursuing the boat. Good luck Mike

Thanks Mike, I went today and looked at it and I'm now a Parker 2520 owner.
