[QUOTE="DOBSONFLY, post: 312382, member: 11090"] Yup good insight Alex,Thanks! I figured I may have to do something creative when putting the transom back in. Either what you said or drill a recess in the transom for the top two :? speaking of which, started on it today. Made some home made clamps from some 2 x 4's that were laying around when I ran out of regular clamps. I used cabinet grade 3/4 plywood instead of marine grade. Marine grade is around $70 a sheet. I picked up 2 sheets of the cabinet grade at nearly the cost of 1 sheet of marine grade. Did do some looking around online and information I read claims that cabinet grade plys aren't quite as good as marine grade but comparable. Pieces are glued together with Titbebond III - [url]https://www.titebond.com/titebond_wood_glues/Ultimate_Wood_Glue.aspx[/url] I used Cabot Gloss Spar Varnish - [url]https://www.cabotstain.com/products/product/Spar-Varnish.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
