Some guys like the old timers formula of mineral spirits, linseed oil and spar urethane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You may need to laminate a couple different pieces together to reach the correct thickness. My alumacraft had a hardwood plank in the transom, so I replaced it with a piece of oak, planed to the right thickness.
