I didnt measure but the outer fiberglass is 1/2, then it had 2 sheets of 3/4 plywood, and then after that a thin layer of glass over that. So I would say atleast 2 1/4in thick.
I just picked up a sheet of plywood and have to still get some resin, roven woven mat, etc. I will be getting a hand from 2 members on here since this is my first time. I would like to get the transom finished before the real cold weather hits us, then its time to build a new motor and buy much need parts....

Well little update..
Was able to cut both sheets of 3/4 plywood to fit in the boat nice and tight today. Then expoxy both sheets togeather outside the boat. They are drying tonight and maybe tomm will get it set in the boat and drill some holes to hold it tight to the back of the transom.
Oh big thanks to my buddy John "johnlx302" for helping me out today!
