ply as in core material? no the bolt pattern patches were cut out of 1708 cloth and were wetted out and incorporated between my 3 whole layers of cloth. I was trying to give you someother ideas for strength without adding a bunch of weight to the transom. maybe go with 2 layers of 3/4 (which is factory core thickness) and then add a 1/2 inch piece of core ply to make a total core thickness of 2 inches. But I truelly dont see why you cant just put 2 pieces of 3/4 ply and then incoporate transom knees, guys run em like that everyday with no issues. as was said earlier thicker is not more strength, the strength is in the layup.
