Larson VEC transom core material

[GeoPort]

My '04 Larson 210 Sei is leaking at the transom. My Mechanic checked bellows and all is OK there. Filled the bilge and found a leak at the transom shield. Will have to remove engine and outdrive for repair. Looks like a new sealing kit and robust inner transom plate should fix it. Theoretically, the transom should be alright as the VEC construction has no wood components. Anybody know what the transom core or filler material is on these boats? Hoping it's not a material that will waterlog. Any assistance is appreciated.

I don’t know if my ‘97 Larson is VEC or pre-VEC, but it has heavy engineered fiberglass stringers (foam-filled) and a wood transom core. I thought I read, when I was researching my boat, that the true VEC hulls had no wood,, but I am not entirely certain of that.
