: I have readily available dodgy quality 4mm plywood sheets (2440x1200mm) for
: around $20 australian a sheet to build a S&G guillemot. This plywood is
: completely random, i have no idea what grade it is or anything like that.
: It looks relatively knot free on the exposed surfaces which also happen to
: look quite ugly. My question is should i even consider using this stuff,
: it is around 3 times cheaper than high quality marine or exterior grade
: plywood of the same thickness. If anyone here is from australia, its
: bunnings plywood in 4mm.

: My 2nd queston, is 4mm plywood really thick enough? I have no doubt that for
: the general hull this should be more than adequate, but im curious how it
: will handle my entire body weight on one spot when i step one foot into it
: as i get into it off a jetty (i weigh about 98kg ~ 240lb?)

OH YES i should add, that i will be using this s&g kayak for fishing mostly, so if anyone has any tips to add about that it would be great (such as going for another design with more stability and room, etc)
