Thank you! Here are some pictures of the transom core. Using a new product called core- lite. It's awesome, and HALF the cost of coosa. $150 a sheet, and REALLY easy to work with. New product, I'm really impressed. Bad news for Coosa and Penske (airex or whatever).
This stuff is WAY easier to work with, and almost the same cost as marine ply:

Well......Up here you can't buy marine ply......anywhere. So, my options are limited, and I didnt want to use wood anyway.

I'm using this new stuff called corelite.
http://www.corelitecomposites.com/corelite-board.html
It's half the cost of Penske (Airex) and Coosa. For $150 bucks a sheet, it's the best thing on the market. The price between marine ply and Corelite is so small, it makes this a no brainer. Also, it's 15% lighter.I am using this for my decks as well. Mat on the bottom, 1708 on the deck itself.
I've seen this product used, and I think it's very similiar.....however not "Marketed" for marine use. From what I see, it's the same stuff:

Thanks. Can you buy it local or do they ship full sheets. Just priced 3/4" coosa ($350) a 4'x8' sheet. That made me think about marine plywood.
getting close to working on my stringers.

Not sure about shipping, which is usually a deal breaker (as it is ridiculously expensive). I purchased mine from Barnegat light Fiberglass Supply in NJ. I'm sure if you called Corelite, they could tell you who stocks it around you.
So, Coosa is great stuff, but it's ungodly expensive. Also, coosa is a mess to work with. The only downside of the corelite stuff is that it does flex more than standard Marine ply. Thus, I'm glassing both sides of the deck.
I had that come to jesus moment, when I realized that for just a few more bucks, this boat would never rot......ever. I decided to go for a composite. When I was turned on to Corelite, it was a no brainer. The stuff is so easy to work with, and really seems to soak up resin without sanding.
