[QUOTE="idruthrbfishin, post: 485184, member: 24191"] Agreed. I had a buddy try to talk me into using HDPE for my Grumman deep vee w/ 60 HP Evinrude. The stuff is just way too flexible for a heavier motor. Might work OK for the posters 9.9, I wish him well, but I went with good ol' tried n true plywood. On that subject, everyone always says, "You HAVE to use MARINE plywood for your transom!" (because it uses waterproof glue) My question is, since I'm encasing it with 2 good coats of epoxy, why does it matter whether the glue is waterproof? That epoxy coating is impenetrable! LoL :lol: Plus, the original plywood was not epoxy coated, and it lasted for 30+ years! If this one lasts that long, someone else can replace it next time. I'll probably be worm food by then.
