: Thanks Dave.
: Actually I meant 3/8 only at bow and stern sections (if not so
: wide) and 1/2 for the other sections.
: The seller writes that ply is for internal use but also claims the
: clue is WBP (wheather and boilled proof).
: WBP is not for "water proof" but i think even marine ply
: is not.
: Half price is charming... I just doubt about the birch.

MDO is a nice alternative to marine ply - relatively cheap and light and excellent quality. Most places that sell plywood can order it at little to no extra cost.
