Many also make a wood or fiberglass transom. Mine is old enough to have come with a wood transom, but the newer plastic ones don't seem to be durable enough from what I hear. This may have changed though.
Personally, I didn't know they had made any with a plastic transom...so I can't say what the situation is from first-hand knowledge. I am building wooden seats to replace the plastic ones though. That's a project for this winter.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
