I am not sure what motor yet as I will probably repower. I am definately going to fill in the back transom as you suggest. I was thinking about Nidacore for the bottom half of the transom and bringing it up to 25 for strength then I would imagine ply and glass above that or could I just pour the whole thing but that might be to expensive and heavy and I would have to glass it anyway. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

No, that was not me asking about the tank. I have a 78 cuddy and I actually have a 25 gal. reserve under the main floor panel between the front seats.

As long as the transom area were the motor is going to be is all solid I am sure you will be fine with ply and glass.

A cuddy is much better for this conversion as they are a bit bow heavy any way.

I would be VERY LEARY about redoing a transom using two different materials...Nidacore on bottom and wood on top sounds like a combo for problems down the road...I'd chose one material and go w/that, top to bottom...
