Happy Thanksgiving.
I need a little advice.
I have 24 hours to accept or reject the purchase of this 2000 Montauk 17.
The survey indicates a wet transom (25%) using an Electrophysics GRP33 plus meter.
Online folks say either avoid or that this is pretty standard with Whalers.
Most say weight is the real issue.
Does this boat seem to be floating on its lines? You can see the stern plug if you zoom in. 70hp 4stroke Suzuki 343 pounds is on stern.
The plugs are just above the water.

Thanks

ps I have pics but cannot post them
