If you want to do composite, Coosa is hard to beat but there are others that will work too. NidaCore will crush in under pressure from engine bolts so I wouldn't use that tho.

Height, I always add a few inches to the transom. Normally shoot for 26.5-27 so the outboard can have plenty of adjustment moving up to get the av plate out of the water while under way.
Just wants to thank you for the input. We went ahead and used marine grade ply. It was a lot cheaper than the Coosa. I am glad that we re-did it bc we were able to check out the stringers and they are not soaked at all so that was very reassuring. I am going to add some pics to show our progress.
