In Response To: Material: Is marine plywood necessary? (Tyler Dunn)
Any exterior grade plywood will be just fine for building a kayak for your 8 yr old son. Don't worry about epoxy coating it, either! It will be fine, unless he plans to circumnavigate Australia in it, or something similar.
In any case, I recommend you build him a skin-on-frame kayak. It will be easy, cheap, and light enough that he can carry it around himself. Check out Tom Yost's Sea Flea, Kidarka, or Sea Pup - free plans and building guide, here: www.Yostwerks.com
Good luck!
