[QUOTE="pmshoemaker, post: 447693, member: 22228"] It's been a year, but I really want to get back to work on my 81 Polar Kraft project. Last completed stage was removal of the old transom board. I'm now ready to start fabricating the new one, and after studying the tutorial on transom building, I was wondering, is there an advantage to sandwiching 2 pieces of plywood together to create the correct thickness? Or would it be just as effective to try to purchase a piece of ply that is already the right thickness? The actual thickness of the old transom (based on the scrap of it that hadn't rotted away) was exactly 1.25". I'm pretty sure I can find plywood that thick. Should I just get a single piece of 1.25 and seal it? [/QUOTE]
