[QUOTE="Windman7, post: 296994, member: 7996"] Since spring is around the corner, I'm going to wait till next year to do a major project. In the meantime, I have some things to work on. The primary need right now is to replace the transom, and I need your wisdom. 1. Is plywood the best material? 2. Is AC or BC plywood an advantage over CDX? 3. What is the best way to protect the plywood? Fiberglass? Urethane? Epoxy? 4. What is the best way to seal the edges of the plywood? The aluminum skin of the transom appears to be tearing at the edge of the transom. 1. Should I enlarge the transom? 2. Would aluminum diamond plate over it be sufficent? 3. Should I have it welded and reinforced? I will try to figure out how to post pictures to go with this. [/QUOTE]
