The spots of delamination are all up forward by the anchor locker. I have a post on here somewhere about those. But there isn't any water intrusion there, that I have been able to find. I drilled some holes to check for water intrusion and discovered a void in the foam. Haven't gotten around to repairing those yet cause the engine has died as well so I am busy with its rebuild. The drain tubes were replaced by the previous owner and then by me, the old ones looked fine when I pulled them out and I sealed mine up with 4200 along with the engine mount bolts. The only other holes are the transducer which is sealed up with 4200 every season. But the deck is a different story, there are many many holes drilled all over the deck where all sorts of things have been mounted and removed. All of the holes so far have been sealed up with something and a little bit of everything, maybe even chewing gum. I have been trying to drilled them all out and reseal them up good but every time I turn around another one pops up. Also about the pick sticking in the wood, it doesn't just stick if you give it a little push the pick might disappear in the transom.
