was wood used in the construction of a 2001 Ranger 518V or was it all composite?

I added two links to your post in the general bass boat section

Most boats had no wood after 1998 or so I bet rangers were one of the first to have no wood also
soft lids more likely to be an issue

When I put a recessed pedal in my 98 518 there is wood covered with fiberglass for the deck
Transom all fiberglass from 88 on. Not sure when the rest of the boat went wood free but I know it was after 1999 because my 518 has wood decks.
My 2002 518 had the fiberglass deck. I would think the 2001 had the same.

My 2000 518dvx has fiberglass over plywood. I have some soft spots on the front deck that needs attention.

Pretty sure everything 400 series was all fiberglass transoms - integrated setback. God I loved my 461!
