Hi Sprint owners I brought a second hand Sprint special edition pro 296 I see it says all composit hull so does that mean no wood? I am considering putting a trollmotor foot petal can in the deck just curious what I am dealing with.

When putting in the trolling motor foot tray, make sure you seal it well, or water will get under the lip and rot the wood that is underneath.

My 1999 has wood in some of the stringers but deck and transom are fiberglass. What wood that is in mine is wrapped in fiberglass.
What year model?
1999 Pro 296
Starting in 98 they were using composites in the transom, fiberglass stringers,and something called XL50 anywhere wood would be used. Limited lifetime warranty against fungal decay,rot, even termites. of course the warranty is moot now but they were well built for the price point in their time.
