[QUOTE="muskyhunter1978, post: 511306, member: 34965"] I know this topic has been gone over a few times but I can't seem to find a straight answer. Living in the middle of PA, I can't find marine plywood anywhere. I can special order it from a place locally, but with tax and shipping, I'm looking at close to 200 for a sheet of plywood! I don't want to spend a ton on this restoration project as the boat is already 20 years old. I'd like to make it serviceable for another 10 or so years before moving on to my next boat if that makes sense. I have a local lowes that sells an exterior grade plywood called sumauma. Its 9 ply and is rated for exterior use with waterproof glue. It also claims in the description to not have any internal voids. Its $88 a sheet here locally. I'm coating the thing with epoxy as its for a transom core. [URL]https://www.lowes.com/pd/3-4-IN-4x8-Sumauma-Hardwood/1002938070[/URL] Thoughts? If thats not a good one to use, any other readily available plys that can be used? I've seen Maple and Oak, higher end plys around here as well. [/QUOTE]
