Re: Marine grade plywood

[chas56x]

For the transom pads on aluminum boats, I use exterior grade plywood. Exterior grade uses the same glue as marine grade, however exterior grade may have some gaps in the inner plys. That is not a concern for use on aluminum boats. I just cut to size, stain with the color I want, then before installation coat the plywood with clear polyurethane. The plywood pads last along time and are cheaper than marine grade plywood.
