[QUOTE="stomper, post: 468125, member: 12788"] I picked up a couple sheets of 5/8" marine plywood for the transom. That stuff isn't cheap, $135 a sheet. Being that the original transom was 2" thick, the option I am going with a 3 plys of the 5/8" marine plywood and one ply of 1/8" aluminum on the interior of the boat. This will give me the 2" that I need for the transom to fit snug inside the channel and will give me the aluminum on the inside of the boat. I will be using the "old timers formula" for the water proofing. I have one question though, The aluminum on the transom has a slight bit of pitting, maybe more of an oxidization around where the original bolt holes are, It's nothing to be conserned about but I was wondering if it would be a good idea to maybe paint it before I install the new transom. You can see what I mean in the pictures on my previous posts. [/QUOTE]
