[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 457080, member: 15636"] FOAM - 2-part can be tricky, as if TOO much, it can 'pop' the area you put it in, as I have seen it break off frp bulkheads! The other tough part is if it rises higher than where your floor would be. If you go to cut it off ... you just ruined it's water repellency. I haven't used sheet foam, so I can't comment, but would think it would be fine for this rebuild. WOOD - Most of us laminate exterior plywood (do NOT use pressure treated) and coat it with epoxy or the old timers formula. It MUST be sealed, especially on the edges. IMHO that wood added to the rear is not needed and was only added by the PO as they knew their transom was weak. [/QUOTE]
