    Default "Vented" Transoms

    I too wondered about the advantage of the vented transoms. I often felt that they might even cause wind resistance by squeezing air through those small vents.

    I do know this, vented transom boats didn't have a black oil film on them and all my boats did.

    I was never quite sure how they got ruled out, but I guess people worried that the transom could rot and no one would see the rot, and cause an accident...
