[QUOTE="Jnicolls, post: 490540, member: 31864"] thanks for the replies everyone. Regarding the transom material provided by the original seller, all I was told was that he had it specially made for him. No idea if it was put together with the proper glue. It would be a lot of work to cut it down to fit, only to find it falling apart in a couple years. A bit relieved with the advice to go the traditional plywood route. Home Depot sells a 4x8 19/32 5 ply ACX plywood for $70, would that work ? Their description states "NAUF (no added urea formaldehyde) water-resistant phenolic resin." I took a pic of the transom with a flashlight shining to show how many bolt holes and corrosion holes are present. Looks pretty bad right? Thinking of finding an aluminum sheet to cover all the holes, secure it with 5200 and rivet the sides. Cost effective ? Overkill ? Your thoughts ? [/QUOTE]
