Re: transome wood

That is exactly what I am doing today for my 12' Sea King!! The wood was 1 1/2" thick.....Two pieces of marine grade plywood glued together, cut to shape and 3 coats of polyester resin. :)

I think what Bob means is you have to use 2 3/4" ply bound together..

And I think he means Do Not use pressure treated..( I was kinda confused about the " Do not use and pressure treated wood " .. was thinkin not to use..and pressure treated..and..well lets say that thought would be reserved to AA or UA forums ;) ).

Yup..... pressure treated wood does not play well with aluminum and the new acq (copper treated) actually leaches out and eats the aluminum.
