Looking to add underwater lights to back of my 3000 open 2007. Does it have cored transom like the sides?
Much easier install if it is not cored.
My sides are being repaired for the 2nd time under warranty this winter.
Thanks

Scott, what has happened to the hull that it has had to be repaired twice?

[skmon]

Water leaked into the core from plenum area (openings for engine to breath, cut into cored side hull by factory during production) downward all the way to the hull. Hull is not cored.
Something about "new" epoxy and installation method of plenum failing.
Never would of found it without a survey, Moisture meter.
Want to know if transom is cored, before I cut into it for underwater lights.

The 30 has a solid bottom below the waterline. Above the waterline is cored.

I had a moisture problem in my older tiara and when I was getting it repaired I was told that moisture in the core is one of the biggest problems to look for when buying a tiara.  get a good survey.
