[QUOTE="GTS225, post: 517230, member: 6678"] Well, it'll add unnecessary weight that could be better used [I]inside[/I] the boat. And yes, there'll be water retained between the two aluminum sheets that will cause corrosion, unless you can find a way to completely bond the two together. I'm assuming you wish to add this for appearance, rather than more structural integrity. You DID say your transom is already solid. If you want to add the polished aluminum diamond look, I suggest just a few highlites.....a couple trim strips along and just under the gunwale, maybe a couple stylized patches to the transom, but do it all ABOVE the high waterline.
