Default Re: transom questions

If you want to make the transom replacement permanent [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] use a high density foam instead of wood. The wood will last many years but anywhere you drill holes water will find a way in and start the rotting process. The foam will not absorb water and will in theory last forever. Be prepared to spend quite a bit more for the foam than wood. I worked for Intrepid powerboats for 13 years and they have been using the foam for transoms more than 10 years with no problems.
