"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...

Records.... and Transoms
OK, so the vented transoms got outlawed.... Interesting.
Smitty, picked up the engraved plate things that were on the trophies, or plaques from Lawrence Lake.
