Yes It is use really a confusion part of the work you can use a good quality and high grade wood ... And you can suggest the upholstery sites because I too got an idea by the site named Anything Upholstery.com....

Good job, looks very good, do you guys have anymore pics of the projects. I am going to tear into mine in December. I have a building to work on it in so I can work on it through the winter. Looks like I better stock up on Diesel fuel for the Turbo heater. Did anyone every look into Azek board, it will not rot and is strong. It comes in 4x8 sheets, 1x12's and smaller sizes. I used it for my house trim, 2 years in the weather and still looks brand new. You can even power wash it.

I thought about that also, it is about $22
a sheet. It is also very strong and water resistant.

After doing research for my own transom project I am using (2) 3/4" sheets of Marine ply. Just thought I would clarify that Advantec and Azek would not be a good choice.
I also went with the marine plywood. All the ext wood looked like crap with tons of knots. Of course after I bought the wood, Menards got a new shipment of the Acurapy (sp). That stuff actually looked almost just as good as the marine wood and at 1/2 the cost.
Through all my researching, I kept on reading that there is no special marine glue. Same as the exterior glue. Main difference is the marine grade uses the same type of wood thoughout and has no voids. All the knots are cut out and inserted with the footballs with a limit to the number of them per sheet or within a given amount of area.
Odd how many of the transom replacements in this thread alone are Baja.
