    Wood encased with resin is composite. I heard they are wood free now, but i know in earlier z21 there was wood.

    wood isnt a problem though. Just saying

    Transoms are not wood, have seen them put together. The top cap has that balsa impregnated with resin, that many see as wood, but technically a composite They use an insert of some material, as most companies do.

    There may be some of this around the transom as it its very good for mounting things too, but its not used structurally.

    Been this way since the beginning of the 9 series.
