Hi Gordon

When I was at Jackel Enterprises last year they had some Marine plywoods, but were short on supply.

I'm sure they would have restocked by now, but the salesman I talked to said if they don't have something in stock, they can get it there in a big hurry... Give them a call and see what they have. Their Okoume was good looking stuff, but they only had a couple dozen sheets when I was there ( they had just had a sale and were very low.

As I recall, their price was around $32.00 a sheet picked up there. But I could be wrong... Check'em out. They are good folks and they don't mind you looking around or being picky with their stock.

Their place is in Watsonville and can be reached off of the south end of town, a few blocks from "1".

Go to MapQuest, type in Watsonville and the address from the WebSite and it will get you down to the exact block. Very easy to get to. I got there from 129 and that was a long twisty slow road through the mountains and town.. :(

Hope that Helps... They have so much stuff it's just fun looking through the place..
