So iam going to replace my transom. Most everything ive been reading says use marine grade plywood.
A carpenter buddy of mine "not a boat repair person" says he thnks i should use a solid peice of wood maybe white oak cover it with about 3 coats of marine varnish and then cover exposed side with a sheet of galv steel. The transom that is in there is a type of plywood 1.25 inches thick. I want to do this only once seeing how im gonna have to remove and replace butt load of rivets. Would love to get some feed back on this. Thanks
