i have a long shaft engine and my transoms to low my shaft is 20" so my transom needs to be about the same

ye sounds good with the ply but i couldn't really give you much advice on this situation, maybe Jim from cork might point you in the right direction.

you could cover the ply with fiber glass
and then sandwich with you checker plate.

if your stuck for a bit of plate give me a shout i might be able to get hold of some.

Hi lads,

lads at the end of last year my boat went under in a harbour, in very strange circumstances, when i got the boat out there where no signs of damage and the water that was in the boat was not able to get out!!!, she is in a tidal harbour so my guess is that the mooring ropes snagged something, there is a river that runs into the harbour and on the day in question i spotted the bow of a tree semi submerged and close to my boat. Anyway to cut to the chase, the boat had the transom raised slightly and it was a very good job, stainless plate and ply, however the guy from the insurance said that it made the boat un-seaworthy!!!! my boat was left to me last year by my late father so as you can understand its a sore subject with me, any help would be appreciated, i can email pics to you if that would help, thanks a lot... my boat is on her trailor and the insurance company are not helping me, the crank shaft went in my new mariner 60 big foot engine at a price of E3500, and the hull needs some gell coat but its not bad, the future is not that bright- any advice is good advice. cheers

Sounds like you need a good Loss Assessor. You know, like the Loss Adjuster that works for the Insurance Companies to minimise their payouts on claims, but who works for you to maximise your payout.

Anyone know a good Loss Adjuster for thr Marine Sector?
Or try Google, the whole world can be found on that.

But deffo try something, sounds like your Insurance Co are chancing their arms.....
