[QUOTE="Steph Boeker, post: 497083, member: 32953"] The short answer is, No. That said, I've got a bit of experience in wood on marine vessels and 33yrs in a fine woodworking career. Over the years I've used Teak in high-end marine installs. It's a rare & exotic wood as it comes from Indo China (Burma, Laos, Thailand & India) is very toxic & natural oil full which makes it expensive. However you can find substitutes like Wenge, Cedar & Cypress for less respectively. Although Cedar is a soft wood in comparison and prolly not recommended for a transom. Color will be your only worry if you decide to geaux that rout. Next, you can always make wood marine worthy. Hardwoods or plywoods. I'm not a fan of paint's or poly anythings but have had great success w/Fiberglass resins. The UV rays don't work on them as easy as the poly's and create a bullet proof armor that will last.
