plywood?

I'm thinking about a stitch and glue boat as a next project. The problem is......I live in Oklahoma City and there aren't any sources for marine ply here. I've thought about using 1/8" door skin stuff with 'glass sheathing, but the closest thing I can find is 5.2mm luan ply. The boat I'm considering specs 4mm marine ply. that 5.2mm stuff has a thick center ply that wouldn't likely bend very well. Anyway.....where does a landlocked person get a good deal on apprpopriate plywood for stitch and glue boats? Another question. Has anyone done a plywood hull with a cedar stripped deck? That would look nice. Is it too much trouble? Any ideas? Help! Garland
