I live in west Arkansas and can't find any at any of the local
lumberyards. I'm wanting 1/8 sheets. Where within a few hundred miles
would have this. I know its in Kansas City which is where I got some
last time but thats so much for gas that I don't think I will ever go
up there again

Take a look at exterior Luan ply... Just built two dingy's for the
grand kids... One out of marine fir at $55 a sheet and the other out of
mostly Luan at $9 a sheet... The Luan boat lots easier to finish
because it is smooth to begin with... By the time the plywood is
coated with epoxy and then painted the plywood can't tell if it is on a
boat or a house... The fir boat is taking as long to finish the hull
as it took to build because the fir (piss pine) is so rough, and is
taking more dollars in epoxy, filler, etc..

Yeah... A the time the marine fir was the only stuff available locally
so I bought four sheets of it... Then by reading groups like this I
discovered the luan and decided to try it for the 2nd dingy project..
I now have 'slightly' bigger boat to build and I'm waiting on delivery
of 200 sheets of Okume with another 200 on order... I have a some test
sheets of Okume on hand that I am currently doing vacuum bagging tests
with... Nice stuff..

Where did you find marine lumber in KC? I'm in KC and don't know where
to find it.

Thanks,
Shane

A local lumber yard said they have something called superply which is
1/4 fir faced with okoume.

I'm inclined to spend the money (about twice the amount per sheet) and
get all okoume. In the grand scheme of things, it wouldn't raise the
price of the boat extraordinarily and might make me sleep better.

Has anyone heard of this superply and what do you all think?

Thanks,
Shane

Definitely all Okume, it's lighter, bends better & glues better...
