hey i just got a 16ft chris craft/ thompson corrsair i belive it is. any info on this boat would be great i cant find much. but my main question is how can i check if the stringers or transom are rotted. what else do i need to be concerned about in a boat this old. it appears to be in good condtion and was not left in the water most of its life. the plywood floor is pretty solid just a little mold.

Congrats...:D

Do a search here {or google} for 'core samples"...basically drilling partway into the wood and observing the resulting sawdust.

Wiring is on the top of the list in my book, after the aforementioned.
