Default Re: Using Coosa

If you go to the manufacturers web sights they will explain the purposes of each of their lines of products and their purposes. A composite designed for a deck does not have the same density as a composite designed for a structural transom. Transoms will have much more pressure put on it from the through transom bolts that hold the motor / motors / bracket and the pressure put on it from running in seas and trailring it that what a 200 Pounder walking on the deck would.

I think I may have mentioned this before, but the two samples of Coosa that I got in the mail both measured 20mm thick. I replaced my SeaCraft tramsom from the outside and I would not have been able to get two layers of 20mm Coosa in around the edges without a lot of sanding and beveling.
I ended up using 24# Penske Board. It was light weight, easy to cut and shape, glued up well (epoxy), but it was expensive (but I guess all of the composites are).

I used one panel of 1 1/2" bluewater 26. End result was fine. Two years of use no issues.
