"Hello,
I have a 1984 Citat
"Hello,
I have a 1984 Citation 19' open bow with a 3L 140 Mercruiser. The engine block is most likely cracked because of lack winterization. The rest of the boat is in great shape! I have the ability to rebuild the engine but I have concerns about the condition of the transom. A few years ago during a routine service the mechanic said the we had a "soft transom." His only proof of that was tapping on the back of the boat. Is there any way to make sure the transom is good before I start into engine repairs? I know this is an old boat to rebuild but it has a lot of sentimental value for my family.
Many thanks,
Bill"
