Did anyone notice the Band-Aid on the transom of the Ash Craft?

Yup....looks like starboard and 5200 patch. Pretty large repair area so the transom was rotted at least half way down.

I already asked about that. He said he restored the boat a while ago and the transom was for a short shaft motor so he made an aluminum riser to fit his long shaft motor. He said the transom was solid before and still is. I will definitely check it good if I decide to go with the smaller Ash Craft.

I ended up not buying either boat due to different reasons. I ended up buying this boat instead. Not a center console like I wanted, but it was affordable and will get me on the specks, reds and bass! That is what really matters.
