[QUOTE="Rat, post: 118009, member: 1914"] A solid piece of wood is not as strong as a good laminate, like plywood, especially good marine ply. Use a good epoxy and a light cloth (like 6 oz) and it will never splinter. You could also use a sacrificial clamp board on the inside and outside of the transom; one that can be easily removed and replaced as necessary. Using a piece of Alu or stainless will also keep it from splintering. Bolting the motor to the transom will help as well. I would not replace the transom with lumber, use ply, it's not even close. Then I would add sacrificial clamping boards inside and out or permanent metal clamping bases. [/QUOTE]
