[QUOTE="LaqueRatt, post: 500794, member: 32586"] I sort of dance to my own drummer at times, but really does it matter? Seems like such a cheap easy project, on most boats anyway. Do I really care if I have to do it again in a few years? Pretty sure if just used whatever plywood I had handy could knock this out in a couple hours for zero money. BUT, if one was willing to coat it with most ANYTHING it may well last a long time. Why wouldn't it? My picnic table sits out all the time. Rain, shine, snow, and I just give it a quick coat of latex every few years. I've replaced a couple boards, but most are still doing just fine after 25 years! My boat lives under a cover much of the time and the transom wood rarely sees more than a small amount of moisture. Outside only. [/QUOTE]
