Looking at a 1993 271. Is this the year they made the switch to no wood construction? Or is it full of wood in the transom etc?


Thanks

wood.
Transoms are still wood as far as I know

It would have to be FasTech generation late 90's to be the no wood grid stringer system construction.
Not sure what year if at all they went to the grid in 271, would have to be at least 98/99.

All transoms are wood , eventhough the stringer system is synthetic. In the early 2000's Formula switch from standard plywood to pressure treated plywood know as 'Perma-Panel'. 1993 would be wood. Bring your moisture meter.

correct

So are all current Formulas still with wood transom just now treated?

Was it just the stringers that were no-wood.

Rippem

Yes.

Fastec and 'Super Sports' have the grid system for stringers + wood transom

Sun Sports and Performance Cruisers are wood throughout.

Wood is pressure treated as of the early 2000's
