Then why did I think PT plywood was such a no-no? Was it the warping it can go through until its fully dried? Not implying fishmonster13 has done anything wrong, I still have the bow to do on mine...so always willing to learn.

Your right that p/t tends to warp when drying more than cdx. But thats not a problem if there is a place to tack it down while it dries (like the bare studs in a garage wall or ceiling). Or weight it down in the driveway on nice days.

hey ya'll ive got a 86 capri and im doing the same resto.... im going alittle heavy on the wood im using 3/4 .... Now before everyone freaks out yea yea yea i know it should be 5/8 but i do everything overkill... i was wondering on the transom does it have to be 3/4 and 1/2 peice or make it out of 2- pieces of 3/4 pieces? and also what kind of paint is in the bottom? ive tried to find some epoxy type paints and am having difficulties here in Fort Worth.
