[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 257168, member: 7537"] I used resin on mine since it is going to get used in saltwater. I went one step further and coated the resin with two coats of gelcoat. I stayed with the white gelcoat since the transom board is covered with aluminum anyways. I could have tinted the gelcoat any color I wanted with a little pigment. It is a pita, and labor intensive, but I believe my transom will last for years to come. Time will tell if my efforts will be rewarded. P.S. I had to re-glue my transom boards since the first glue I utilized did not set the way I want it. I recommend using Titebond III its waterproof and will never come apart or swell when curing. Just my opinion You can check my build if you like. [/QUOTE]
