1. Sea cast seems really thick. I worry about what absorption I will get to any wood that I didn't get out
2. Carbon core is the ceramic from the videos looks like my favorite option. Thinner and would flow better into the tight areas.
3. 3m makes a similar one but its a little cheaper. Nida is the name.
4. Transom repair kit is the one I seen today. It is said that you only need a fraction of the amount the others are claiming. I think it is expandable but I am not sure. I've called the manufacture and am waiting a call or an email back.

Not looking for the cheapest option. Looking for the best option.
I do know I don't want to have wood thou.

I'm glad to see several of the brand options on one list...some there I haven't seen before now...I don't see Arjay on you list; that one being used by several around here for their rebuild...like Bradford, keep us posted on your decision and the outcome...pictures of the work are always appreciated cuz we just pic hos around here...
