[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 275206, member: 6657"] Aluminum is too heavy and too expensive. Marine plywood is too expensive. Dimensional lumber like 2x6 and 2x8 etc. is weaker than laminated plywood. The best bang for the buck is ABX plywood with Aruco brand being widely used. Seal your laminated (2 pieces glued and screwed together) with epoxy resin or exterior grade Spar urethane, 4 coats. Seal all penetrations (bolts, screws, etc.) with 3M 5200 marine sealant and your new transom will last for decades. [/QUOTE]
