i just had some extra core laying around i figured id try. on the sides i cut strips of 1708 about 6 inches wide. filled the void with cabisol and layed the 1708 over that trying to make a nice transition. needless to say i had some body work to do :shock:

no worries, no dumb questions here, coming from the village idiot :mullet:

I will have pictures of mine in a few weeks hopefully as well.

You could do like Chet did and just stick a bunch of 1708 together to get a good strong thickness. And plus the transom knees that myself and others have added will help support any weight a well too.

Great post. Thanks.

this might give you some ideas too. i used balsa core so its strong with minimal matt and light. after making a sheet of balsa with matt on both sides i let it set up then cut to fit the splash well. tabbed it in with a piece of half round at front lip.
