    So far I've been able to buy or make the parts I need.

    Correct, it's 3/4 plywood and it bent almost perfectly to maintain the curve or radius in the transom. I have screws pulling the foam/plywood back to the fiberglass

    ...120 lb density is nice for transom foam. you pick the brand. the core is not where the strength is mostly, it comes from the laminate on both sides of any stringer, tranverse stringer, bulkhead, transom, etc. I've purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of CoreCell. same with DivinyCell. so I recommend them, but any PVC foam will do that you can get. it all bends & can be vacuum bagged in place. before use, drill a lot of random 1/8" holes in the foam for air/bedding compound escape. Epoxy is fine but vinylester works well too.
    Thanks for your input, NP
