Subject: Transom board replacement??

I have an old 12' aluminum boat and am looking to replace the wooden pieces on the transom where the motor mounts. I assume there is a synthetic board of some kind that will do a much better job than wood that I should use instead. Is this the case?

Starboard or any other HDPE sheet in the thickness desired.

Best check the condition of the remainder of the transom, if one area is bad the rest may be too. m

There is a product called Coosa board, https://www.boatoutfitters.com/material/plastic-sheet/coosa-board that people are using.

I looked at it when I did my build and didn't go that direction, but if I did it again I certainly would give it a strong look again.

I have always used ACX plywood and sealed all sides with a good quality spar varnish without ever having a problem.
