: Yep, just about double the weight, makes a difference in the
: finished boat weight too.

: I've still got several sheets of 1/2" fir marine ply that I
: use for the Yost boat frames, it's not as light as Okoume but
: not nearly the weight of Meranti, lots cheaper too if you can
: find it.

Bill: I'm building Jeff Horton's (Kudzu) Stonefly canoe and I need 1/2" marine plywood. Where did you get your fir marine ply. I don't need a full sheet of Okume at $94-120 per sheet plus shipping.
