Re: seacast transom
In a word, no. I have seen seacast used on boats and first it is very heavy, 2nd it can crack over time. Simply put, glass over marine plywood will last 20-30 years.

Herm, No offense but have you seen the seacast after 3,4, or 5 years? Why would someone choose that over wood or a cored product? :o

Re: seacast transom
Anyone know what seacast is . . . I always thought is was some combination of 1/2 chopped strand, cabosil, talc, and resin?

Seacast is a core material so you need a sufficient laminate on both sides of the material to provide the strength. Proper preparation is key to achieve good results. They have a pretty good website with step by step instructions for use. transomrepair.com :D |
Re: seacast transom
I poured my transom,in my opinion if you plan to keep the boat for any length of time it's the only way to go it bonds better because all the voids are gone.

Well if it can handle twin 250's then that's probably a good indication to go ahead and uses it.

Re: seacast transom
Years ago i was heading down the path of using Seacast.
Yes, i was handy with a chainsaw and removed the transom core from the top!! :eek: The main reason i decided against using Seacast was the fear of it cracking. Decided to use the tried and true plywood method. Ah yes, good old days ... chainsaws and boats! :D - Nick |
