1990 Bayliner Capri Transom Thickness

[Senorweiss]

Hi All, I have a 1990 Bayliner Capri 2000, the boat was fitted with an older Mercury Inline 6 before starting the deck and transom replacement.
I"m currently in the cutting and grinding stage of the rebuild, and I have a question in regards to the thickness of the transom, the current Transom looks to be 3 x pieces of plywood + glass. The total thickness is around 75MM (close to 3") This thickness seems to be greater than what I would expect it to be.

Does anyone know what the actual thickness should be? I can't tell if the transom has been repaired before. Part of me thinks it may have been, whilst pulling the old transom I found plywood at the top and then the bottom was just some 50mm timber, However, it wouldn't surprise me if the boat came from the factory like this from what I have read.

welcome aboard

total transom thickness between 2.0 and 2.25"

mostly 1-1/2" of plywood for the transom, about 5/16"-3/8" of outer hull skin and about 3/16" of inner bilge skin

this is covered in the stickies at the top of the hull and restoration forum.
