As some may have seen I just acquired a 14' aluminum row boat that I believe is a mid to late 50s Crestliner. No registration and no HID so no one has a clue what this really is.
Anyways all the transom wood is already gone and from pictures I've seen it appears that a 3/4" solid pc of wood was used. There is a bracket riveted onto each side that the wood was fastened thru. Again this space is only 3/4". My thought and question is this. Which would be better just using one pc of 3/4" ply or using 3 layers of 1/4" ply. Which would be stronger?
