[QUOTE="Jon13245, post: 479352, member: 28500"] I'll definitely look into both of those, spent a bit more on restoring my motor than I was hoping so I wouldn't mind saving on the epoxy if it's still good. I saw somewhere online someone was saying to use non thickened epoxy first on each of the sheets of plywood, I'm guessing because the wood absorbs it better and you can saturate the wood more before then applying thickened epoxy (they said to thicken it with wood flour) to glue then together and give them one more thicker coating. I'd probably drill out all my holes first before that last thick coating so I can fill the holes with thick epoxy and let it harden and redrill it so none of the wood is exposed to the elements. Then I'd sandpaper and rustoleum paint it and I think that should be solid and well protected from uv [/QUOTE]
