[QUOTE="C.U. Fishin, post: 141956, member: 3364"] Almost time to get going on this project, I need to buy some 3/4 in plywood for the transom and seats, I've read that exterior grade is OK and that I should only get marine grade so I'm wondering if I should spend the extra on marine or not. Whatever I get will be covered with at least a couple coats of spar urethane. I'm also going to add flotation under the seats and eventually the front deck, is the Styrofoam sheathing available at lowes or home depot the right thing to use? And, should I plan on fitting some under the floor as well? I havent leak tested it yet but I'm also wondering if going to the expense of putting some kind of sealer on the floor si what I should do just to be on the safe side. I'd like to keep my expenses to a minimum right now so any ideas on how to proceed are welcome. [/QUOTE]
