Well its out and transom boards rough cut. Sealing the boards then ill garilla glue all 3 pices together and then cut to size and seal the hell out of it. Then paint:D:D Im thinking red top and inside and blue bottom.
She is stripped right now.
This is on the support in the rear the ear is broken and im wondering if this will lower my motor rating.

All the fixings
Wondering what to use for my transom im thinking exterior grade plywood or ?? A coworker that was a service righter at a marina told me that they used to use some kind of poly or composit style wood (fake plastic stuff). On the up side I would only need to do this once but is it strong enough...
