Thanks for your input. The 14' boat is aluminum and the aluminum brackets that held the wood in the transom are permanently mounted and will not allow the wood in the transom to be replaced in a single piece. There is an aluminum plate on the inside that goes over the wood (or foam) where a small motor will be clamped on.
I think the Sea Cast will be overkill and too expensive on this project.
Have you ever used the 8# high density foam on anything?
On all fiberglass bass boats that I have done so far, I have removed the cap. I usually have to replace the floor also and I sometimes have to add gussets to tie the transom to the hull and floor to help support the heavy engines. I am reluctant to replace just the transom without replacing the floor area that is attached to it. There may be a case in the future where I may need to pour in a transom but have not so far.
Thanks again.
