[QUOTE="airshot, post: 500793, member: 1183"] What is done with the wood after repairs are key!! Some folks just store their boats outside, tipped up to drain, get clogged up with debris, left those new repairs set in water/ moist debris etc. Did a transom repair on my jon boat, over 10 years back and it looks like new today....I just used plain ole plywood and sealed with thompsons and another off brand wood sealer. BUT....it sits under a lean to, upside down, no water contact until it is being used. Have numerous friends that have done similiar repairs with great sucess, the biggest issue is to protect the repair after you finnish it. Mother nature and her sun, can damage the best sealants over time. Lasting a lifetime is not that difficult, if we follow thru after the repair... [/QUOTE]
