[QUOTE="Windman7, post: 312753, member: 7996"] Well after many weeks the transom is finally finished. The transom is AC plywood filled on the ends and coated with numerous coats of epoxy, then glass and epoxy. Finally coated with red polyurethane. I took all the flat aluminum trim off and replaced with .125" aluminum diamond plate. I used all SS fasteners from Boltdepot.com. They are extremely inexpensive on hardware. I installed everything with 5200. Boy that stuff is messy. Ruined a brand new t shirt. Thought it would take 1 to 1.5 hrs to bolt it all together. Took over 4 hours. This is one transom that will never rot or leak... If I had it to do over again, probably would have take a scrap piece of plywood filled the ends and painted it. Sure it would rot in ten years, but I wouldn't have missed some spring fishing. [/QUOTE]
