I haven't done the numbers on weight of solid glass versus arjay or seacast, but I've also heard the seacast transom is heavy. Just debating the idea, but it's hard to see how another 40 or 50 pounds in the stern will hurt anything. Yes, the solid glass transom would be heavy, but factor in the weight of 2 sheets of 3/4 ply and subtract that from the weight of solid glass and you're not that far off. I know it's labor intensive, but we don't work on old boats because it's easy. Is seacast anything more than "bondo"?
