[QUOTE="BassBlaster, post: 144763, member: 2865"] I got the old rotted transom wood out today. I was a little nervous cutting the corner supports off but all went well and when they get welded back on it should look like they never came off. The wood just fell apart when I took it out. It was much worse than I thought. It was completely water logged and this boat has been garage kept the last couple months. I do have a question about the new transom wood though. Mine is only 8" tall and 1 1/2" thick. Would it be better to buy a 2 X 10 and rip it down to 8" to fit or is laminating plywood to get to the 1 1/2" still better? Obviously, the solid 2 X 10 would be simpler (and cheaper) but if the ply is a better route then thats how I will go. I want the strongest option and years of use. Heres a pic of the old transom tore out. [img]https://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae127/BassBlaster29/Boat9.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
