[QUOTE="The Wirtzer, post: 313240, member: 11620"] OK, So I got at free boat.... It is a 14 ft aluminum boat (don't know the maker yet but will post that soon) in great shape except that it has been sitting upside down since probably 1993 and the plywood transom will need to be replaced. After looking at other posts here, everyone uses marine grade plywood. Why plywood? Can solid wood be used instead, say hard Maple or Oak? I have access to a lot of that in 1 and 1.5 inch thickness. Since I want to keep this boat as close to free as possible, is it possible to use solid wood? What are the drawbacks, etc? Thanks Tim [/QUOTE]
