So I am looking at this boat and once again, I find this in the transom. I have a survey booked for Monday the eighth on this Grady but obviously seeing this makes me think that I might be throwing good money after bad. This would be the fifth Grady White that I have either surveyed or inspected. That seems to have this issue. Of course the previous ones were much older ( 09 to 01) so I was hoping to avoid that with a newer model. Those of you with these boats do you have similar issues with your transom and does that impact their performance in anyway? The delamination of the stringer seems to be of concern. This boat has newer power with 2015 Yamaha F250s.

Doesn't look like the glass is compressed but something got wet behind the bolt. The cracks need evaluation as well.

You have cracks around the stringer too.
