I am getting ready to replace the inside transom board on my 1952 Alumacraft. I know that alot of folks are gluing plywood together to use for the inside board instead of solid lumber. The outside of the boat used plywood and it seems to splinter very easily from the outboard being clamped against it. I know that it can easily be replaced at any time but the inside board is a little more work with 2 gussets to be removed first. If I wanted to stick with a solid board for the inside, what type of wood would you use. I know that I can get Red Oak, Poplar and Maple. I may be able to get cypress also. I figure that if the original solid lumber has lasted 58 years I would stick the same back in. Any help would be appreciated
