You can count on me being confused on things. I always thought "marine grade" meant treated. My mistake.
This plywood was rated BC and was the cheapest thing Lowes had...it is pretty nice looking stuff though, maybe they had it miss labled?

Looks Good! Its a lot of work but you did it right! I did the transom on my V about the same way in 06. I used three pieces of 3/4 inch marine grade plywood , doubled in the center. Instead of clamps I drilled about a dozen holes in the outer skin and pulled the resin and glass coated plywood up tight with heavy wood screws. Worked really well! Reglassed the inside and gelcoated it to match. Removed the screws and glassed over the holes. My neighbor has a body shop, he color matched the gelcoat and sprayed Emron clear over the transom last. Looks like brand new! Haven't had any trouble, solid as a rock.

Got the second piece of wood glued in Friday, hoping to finish it up this week...the fish are on fire on one of the local lakes, we caught 15 in a half day last Thursday.
  Two at a time...

Got the corners tied in with cloth and resin, it looks like air bubbles in the corners but it is just the pictures, got a very solid bond.

I got one layer of glass cloth with resin over the inside surface a couple weeks ago before we got the arctic blast...hopefully this next arctic blast won't be as long or cold and we can get back to it and get her finished...the fish are out there getting hungry right now!

In never did post the finish of the rebuild, I thought I took some pics of the final steps but cant see them on my phone for some reason but it is done and I have been catching fish out of the old boat. You can sort of see the finished product in a few of these fish pics.
    I also bought an extra mount and wires plus a shallow water transducer so I can run one of my Garmin 741XS units from my big boat on the little boat, it is amazing what you can see and catch if you have a quality bottom machine on board...plus when the Garmin is on the Dixie, it doubles the value of the boat.
