[QUOTE="Whidbeyboater, post: 512857, member: 35394"] I have been happy working with MDO / HDO plywood. Its commonly used for outdoor signs and reusable concrete forms. It is similar to marine grade 100% void free but instead of water proof glue it uses a waterproof thermoset resin and comes with a one or 2 sided paper face sheet that looks nicer than plywood. I sandwiched a piece of 3/4 and 1/2 together for my transom. Oversized all the thru holes and sealed all the edges and holes with 3 layers of epoxy. I haven't finished the project yet so its not water tested but I have heard great things about MDO and so far I think its going to hold up as good or better than anything else. [/QUOTE]
