[QUOTE="lukeduke07, post: 475477, member: 25833"] I've been going back and forth about replacing the transom with plywood or going back with an aluminum frame. The existing wood is 1-1/4" so I bought a sheet of 5/8" CD exterior plywood from Lowe's. I did my math several times and checked is several more. Nominal 5/8" plywood is actually 19/32 so in theory, when I sandwiched two layers I should come up with slightly less than the 1-1/4" thickness. I cut two pieces larger than the transom and glued together with gorilla glue. Then used some old 80lb quickcrete bags that were left over from a deck rebuild project at my house that i've been putting off hauling away (knew id need them again :D ) [img]https://i.ibb.co/vhNb7LX/IMG-1523.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/0y5ZhBY/IMG-1519.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/9vZr2Bc/IMG-1520.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/Nst8bSP/IMG-1521.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.ibb.co/CVWK0Bp/IMG-1522.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
