Hay guys

Me and my brother have just bought a small speed boat. It is a little bit damaged. I bought it off my boss and he asked me the question "what transom do you want, foam or ply?". He gave me some basic knowledge about the differences. So thinking about it all night, i thought i would ask you guys your opinion - do I use foam or ply? What are the good and bad points of each one. This SMALL (3.5m) fiberglass speed boat will be holding a 15HP 2 stroke merc on the back and only holding about 2 people. I dont know if you need anymore info but if you do please ask.

Any info will be appreciated and,

The ply will be about 1/3 of the price as the close cell foam. Done properly with ply you should never have a problem. The strenth of both will be simular in laminated form.
