[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 436479, member: 13599"] Welcome Aboard, Travis !! #1 = power wash the whole inside of the boat. are the corner caps of the transom welded on ? do you have any stress cracks [u]anywhere[/u] in the transom metal ? how thick was the original transom wood panel ? in my world, I would either remove that piece of metal or drill it full of holes. if you properly fabricate and seal the new transom wood panel, you will not have any future issues with premature wood deterioration. use the "search" feature in the upper right corner for any concerns you may have. as for the overall project - SMALL BITES will lessen the frustration factor. address each area of concern separately - each project will have its on method. as for the [b]LVL[/b] transom panel: although the Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) is constructed with "waterproof" adhesives, it is still considered an interior product. it is not designed for outside use unless it is properly sealed, preserved and either varnished or painted. I would approach his project last - after everything else is done. and process it the same way as the regular plywood transom panel described several times in this forum. . [/QUOTE]
