Default Re: The subject is a 74 20 cc with some problems

I agree with BigShrimpin, but oddly enough, I was thinking of using a composite on my 23 with a full transom. My thought is to keep the weight down. Still looking at that option, but will go with wood again if the savings isn't that great.

My research so far has been that Plywood weighs 25 lbs per 1/4 inch on 4x8 sheets. That coosa stuff would weigh 69.3 lbs on a 4x8x1 sheet. The weight savings just isn't there for me at that cost. On my 20 project, my supplier scolded me for even thinking of using composites.

FYI, be careful of using 1 1/2" material. The original thickness was 1 3/8. You may have a hard time refitting that splash well if you go thicker. I had this problem on my 20 sceptre.

$580 bucks? I would find another product. Nida Core is about $170, but would it be good for a transom???? How easy is it to fill the edges with goop?
