I think the transoms went to poured around the time Genmar took over. My '92 is poured.
Stringers were never wood.

Full pour transoms were the norm in 94 when the Euro transom models were born.
As Rick mentioned, earlier 90's may have a combination lower pour/upper wood.
No Hialeah hulls were poured.

I have seen a couple of rebuilds with a strip of plywood in the stringer but who know what went on during a late Friday night in Hialeah. :mrgreen:

You might also find a post 94 hull with a wood transom due to a lack of material during a production run with plywood being substituted but that would be an exception rather than a rule.

Anyway - I forgot about my port and starboard "sides" of the "transom" which are wood.  In fact I had to replace the starboard piece.
