Identifying wood construction

Hey there new to the place and loving it so far lots of knoledge here. :notworthy: Anyhow, I wanted to get some opinions on this boat i am set to see this weekend. Its a 2000 wellcraft 22ft walkaround with a 2001 evinrude 200 hp. My question is if the boat has wood free construction? or is the deck wood? or transom? The owner told me its wood free but i wasnt sure what the extent of it was. Im looking for something free of wood on hull and transom as i am tired of rot from my previous boats. I understand they can be more sturdy and better ride but this is 100% the route i am aiming to go. So if anyone has any information on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
Here are some pics for what she looks like :

That's a good looking boat.

My '96 has wood in the transom. I found this out when I replaced the cable holder for the transponder and also when replacing the fuel filter assembly (screws were dry).

I've heard that the hull is all fiber, but I'm not so sure about that. I'll find out for sure when I replace the thru-hull for the washdown/fishwell.
