Dennis, I bought my boat last year that was a dealer demo with 25 hours. I noticed I was getting a little water in the bilge after every ride. It's was enough for the pump to go on. I checked everything and found out the drain plug housing wasn't sealed properly. The guy who works on my boat who managed the fiberglass area of a boating manufacturer said it's not uncommon for lots of manufacturers not to have it sealed properly. He verified that was the case on my boat and haven't had a drop of water sense. I have no idea how much water one would need to to cause a wet transom from that, but I would guess long term it can't be good. I've not heard of Fountain transom getting wet, but maybe others have.
