I am in the process of replacing the floor in a 18' Bayliner Cobra boat for a customer and I was trying to determine whether to replace the transom. Does anyone know if Bayliner used treated plywood in the transom in around 1989. The reason I am asking is because the wood in the transom is wet but doesn't appear to be rotten.
If they did use treated plywood it is the first I have ever seen in small boats by a manufacturer.

1 st boat was 88 bayline tri-hull- replace floor, never was sure about transom. If outboard can always pull one of the mount bolts to be sure, but probably fiberglased like rest. Bayliner was acquired by Brunswick Boat Company in 1986. One of the manufactoring plants is in Maryland 410-546-4656, fax 410-546-0740. Might be worth a call to be sure. Good Luck

should have said " my wife and I replaced floor". Never do that myself again. Fiberglassing is work.

Thanks for you input. I think I will remove more glass to expose a larger portion of the inside surface of the transom first.
Yes, it is a lot of work. I am on my 4th floor and transom replacement since spring working part time.

Rooster, just thought I would let you know that where the two halves of the boat come together at the transom, the caulking was broken up and water had penetrated the transom. Most of the wood in the transom is still solid but very wet. Since the owner wants it done right, I plan to split the boat this week after I replace a portion of the floor to help retain the hulls position.
