Original wood was no good.
Two layers of 5/8" exterior plywood sealed with deck sealer. After using deck sealer I would recommend epoxy thinned with acetone for a longer lasting product. This just sits on top of the wood like paint. Deck sealer might be ok if you have one of those mini wooden pad transoms that are easy to access. I had to take the back seats apart and cut some welds to get this transom in. It'll still last a while but definitely not another 40 years. I put 5 layers on either side and like 7 or 8 along the edges.
Installed. All bolt holes were sealed with 5200 in and out. WD-40 on a rag is a good way to get it off but you need to do it before it cures. I got some on the transom but I don't really mind.
Should be fun with a 50/35 hung on the back.
