[QUOTE="BAY BEAGLE, post: 486666, member: 31457"] Thanks for the "thumbs up". I feel the "TREX" will work nicely for this size boat. It may be a little bit lighter than the 245 lbs I stated - (not sure I'll use the whole 12 ft). Pretty much on "lock down" due to the fluctuations in temperature. It's ranging from 30°'s at night to 60° in the daytime. So painting is off the "to do list" for awhile. We still have the interior to sand, and water test the rivets in the floor. Then buck and seal the rivets that need attention. Right now we are focusing on the transome. Made our cuts yesterday, and fitted them, to be sure we got it right. Moved the transom to the house. (Wife not too thrilled). Needed the warm temperature for consistent temperature control in the laminating process. After laminating with TIGHTBOND III, I'll sand all the edges smooth. Then concentrate on getting a good dose of MARINE SPAR VARNISH on those edges, in multiple coats, as well as the surfaces of the transome.
