[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 484307, member: 24227"] I have two boats. One is a bigger 17' jon boat and has the removable transom cap. Plywood slips in between two layers of aluminum to make an AL-ply-AL sandwich. I don't think there are many cheaper options than plywood here because other types of lumber aren't the right size to fit. The other is a smaller jon boat with just one layer of AL on the transom and gets the bolt-onto-the-surface piece of plywood. I replaced my plywood with a length of 2x8 cut to the right length. Resists bending more than plywood and was cheaper and easier to cut to fit because I wasn't trying to make it fit every angle of the transom. [/QUOTE]
