    Boat fell off lift and smashed some rocks.. What are your thoughts on this damage ?

    I will drill holes and see if the transom is rotted aswell as do a stress test on the stern to see if the transom has flex when I put weight. I'm not afraid of pulling the stern and motor. I've done it before in a couple hours.
