Transom space for core is 1 1/2", which leaves no room for Mat , 1708 etc. Are you finding the same dimension? Can't wait to see your progress

Ok, First welcome to CSC !
Second, it all depends on how old you are for the decision of wood verus
coosa....
Currently rebuilding my 1975 Hewes flats boat with wood..
Reason I'am 63 years old, told my son who is 36 that it only has to
last at least 15 years, cause will probably not be here to worry
about it after that.. He can deal with it when it goes south..
Rebuilt my 1970 20 SF with all wood 28 years ago and still solid
as a rock !!!
Just make sure every screw hole is SEALED !!
The glass has no voids..
It will out live you !
Use your 3/4 and Fasco it to a sheet of 5/8. Plenty of room
for mat and woven roven..
Just Do-it !!
