[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 496852, member: 21536"] From the pic's it looks like the 2x's are stacked in transom. Almost looks like they would flex like hinge leafs to me. I think you would appreciate the difference by replacing the 2xs with cut-to-fit ply. Use 2 layers of 3/4 ply glued together (or however many ply thicknesses are needed to fit you transom). You can use exterior grade ply from the local lumber store and save a ton of money over the cost of marine grade ply. You can also use 2x solid lumber . In my opinion, if multiple 2x widths are needed they should be joined together at the edges as opposed to being stacked and bolted independently to the transom. Of course, I could be looking at the pics all wrong. [/QUOTE]
