Even if the wood is wet, but the rest of the boat is in good condition, I wouldn't let that stop me from considering the boat. Static trim when it's in the water is a great indicator of excess water weight. Also, check out this Project Page below and note his comments on the strength of the transom fiberglass separate from the wood, and consider that the Guardian model is even beefier than the standard Outrage in its fiberglass layup.
