I've seen plenty of rotten Cig transoms including one Cafe that the outdrives pulled from the transom as the plywood was completely rotted to crumbly bits. I've owned 2 Apache's with rotten transoms and have seen several more.
The wood doesn't know if it's in the transom of a million-dollar boat or a Bayliner.

Hey bouyhunter what is better on worms, salt or pepper?? Ladies don't get your panties in a bunch! - jeez I made the obligatory disclaimers in red...
Boat - I sold my 89 Formula 311 over a year ago for the same $ I paid for it over 3 years prior. I did not say that Formula was any better than other boats - (make up your own mind - see how many 80's Formulas are out still out there) I could have spent the 30k on a faster 90's boat from a different brand though have no regrets.
Just for the record I know my Maxima will not last as long as a Mercedes, Cadillac or BMW - IT"LL last longer!!! go second rate!!!!

We were are working on a late 80s Donzi because he wants a bravo drive. well, the transom is as solid as mud on a rainy day, the bottom is toast,the stringers are bread like and it needs a new floor.
