yes i know that and the core and transom was redone by previous owner i saw the pictures and he did a good job but that was 5 years ago and the boat sat covered in his yard for 2r3years before i got it i am planning on checking the core i do know that the transom is still solid as a rock but when i chesk the core do i have to pull the entire floor out to check it or can i just cut little holes every foot r so to allow me to get to the core to check? i kinda hate to rip out the entire floor

Some have very good luck with a Cleaver. A 'Stream doesn't need a lot of bow lift on top end, and the cleaver is more stable. Try a 30-32 pitch. JMO. Probably find one on S&F for around $400.
