Default Re: Transom suggestions/recommendations needed

General comment
If I ever did another boat or needed to do mine again I would do the transom with the new composite materials. When I did mine a few years ago I did not have enough confidence in the stuff, but now, after all the boats with the newer materials in them, and I haven’t heard of any problems in the last few years, along with the weight problems in all transoms to me, composite it the way to go. It seems to me, sooner or later there is going to be some water seeping into the transom lamination because of motor torque, vibrations, trim tab flex, or just poor installation of something. I’m sold.
