[QUOTE="Go Fish, post: 231763, member: 6062"] Starboard is absolutely NOT an appropriate material for transom reinforcement. It lacks the rigidity that you need to offset the forces being applied by the motor. Stick with a couple layers of good quality exterior grade plywood and "glue" them together with thickened epoxy. I'm a big fan of encapsulating wood parts with epoxy to keep the water out but some folks swear by less expensive coatings like spar varnish. [/QUOTE]
