[QUOTE="thudpucker, post: 117778, member: 1422"] I have experience and stories from way back on that issue. It don't matter what you use or how you treat it, the wood will splinter where the clamps go. Find a fine grained, very linear piece of solid wood, or a piece of Marine Plywood made of hardwood and you'll be happy for a long time. Use Stainless above the water line and bronze below and you wont have stains in the wood that will come through the paint. The most success I had with that was a piece of Stainless scrap I used to protect the wood from the clamps, which worked pretty good. I used Solid wood on the inside and out of my Star Craft the second time I replaced the transom. That was better than plywood for appearance. I can't imagine any wood from the U.S. that would hold up any better than anything else. I've always wanted to see what that "Iron Wood" from Australia would be like. [/QUOTE]
