Also worth noting, you won't be able to glue the frame together like you would be able to do with plywood. Lashing and dowel works with plywood, should work just fine with hard plastic, too.

: If you're feeling pragmatic and don't care about having a "wood
: look", for the price of marine plywood, you can get HDPE or UHMWPE
: (what Tom uses in his boats) and not have to worry about sealing plywood.
: It seems to me that most people only go the plywood route to save money
: and because it's easy to find.
