[QUOTE="surfman, post: 371411, member: 7404"] Try to use a B grade plywood if possible, it should have no surface voids and if it is BCX then just glue the two C sides together. Most transoms are 1.5” thick so two layers of 0.75” ply work fine. As stated above do not use pressure treated ply. This is probably the cheapest way to go and it will last for years. Also be sure to seal it with several good coats of varnish of epoxy (much more expensive). Any holes you drill should also be sealed with epoxy or varnish too and 4200 caulk. [/QUOTE]
