That Rigid Grinder is genius. Thanks all for the suggestions.

Onto another matter. It's time to order material and I'm wanting to go with Coosa BW26 for the transom with epoxy.

I'd say the stuff that came out of the transom was 1.5"s thick and it'd be safe to replace it with the same thickness. However, since I'm going to run a full width dive platform/engine bracket, I was thinking about going with 1" coosa. I'm fielding opinions so please comment.

I know the 1/12*b*h^3 means it will be roughly a 3.375x decrease in stiffness/strength from 1.5" to 1" but I expect the bracket will more than make up for it.

My desire to skimp on material is the proportional decrease in weight and $. I figured I was bias and could be set straight by the CSCers.
