[QUOTE="CrappieSlayer36, post: 399201, member: 19302"] I'm using tinted water seal. Coating it about 10 times or so, lol. It seems as if the older transoms were good plywood that was just painted and sealed well. They lasted for years so the multi coated water sealer should last for several years or so. I am trying to get 10 good years of use out of it, lol. the piece inside the boat appeared to be some kind of oak. It is a weird dimension, so I had to glue 2 pieces together, I will be cutting it to fit tomorrow. When I get it finished and installed I will post more pictures. I will most likely not be getting the wood in until wed or thurs. I am really chomping at the bits to get this thing in the water, but being patient will mean better quality of course. After the wood goes in then I will build a small deck up front, and recover the bench seats, and install some good comfy seats. I will post pictures of all the finished product. I will be happy to explain how I do what ever step yall want to hear more details about. But there are definitely cooler builds on here than mine, lol. Thanks again folks. [/QUOTE]
