[QUOTE="davedude, post: 427921, member: 17211"] Johnny you knew what I was going to ask! Thank you very much for your comments! About the three 1/2 plywood fiberglass laminated stack, what weight cloth to use? Do I need to seal each one with the oldtimers formula before using the epoxy or resin? Epoxy would be stronger yes? Which epoxy to use with the fiberglass cloth? I think this is worth looking into using the strongest plywood I can find, there is a shop close by that sells marine grade plywood, it is pricey but for the extra strength in this application would be worth it. I just have about zero confidence I can find a good piece of exterior plywood after what I have experienced so far. A super strong transom with serious stout bracing is the order of the day here. Thanks to everyone for all your comments! [/QUOTE]
