Ha Quonie;
I’m with you on this one myself. Although when I did my 23 CC backing in 2001-2002 I did not have much confidence with composite materials since they really had been only out for a few years “at that time” and I did not have the confidence that they would really hold up plus I didn’t want to be the bata testers on composite materials either. After all it takes 10 to 15 years to really know if they will work or not for a transom. Well they work and they work great. If I had to do it all over again the answer would be Yes to composite’s. Although, I also agree that if wood is done correctly it will be very good as well. There is another point “for me” now that I never considered before. How long are you going to keep your boat??? Most boat owners will not own their boat longer than a wooden transom job will last. For me, I am now 59 years old I hope I will be using my boat till I am 70 But how many guys 70 do you see in a CC boat?? SOOOOOOOO looks like it will become someone else’s problem some day.
