[QUOTE="chrisplewa, post: 480712, member: 29959"] Doing the same transom here on a 14ft Gregor. I ripped the old transom out and snapped the two braces off knowing that I would need them welded back in. 2 sheets of marine ply at a hair under 3/4 inch and 3 coats of west marine epoxy got me to 1.5 inches. It will be a tight fit and need beaten up into place with a mallet before I set the screws. I made it 10 inch instead of 8 inch tall because I want to use the bottom of it to add aluminum angle to connect framing to the rear bench. It is FREAKING stiff. I'm using 8x stainless steel 3/8 bolts to attach. Holes are predrilled at 1/2 inch and inside of the holes are coated in epoxy. I figure do it once and don't cut corners. Materials were expensive but I plan to keep the boat a few years and it'll be the last time it needs a transom. [/QUOTE]
