: Hi Jay,

: There's always Hydrotek plywood, it's mostly Meranti so is somewhat
: heavier than Okoume, but it's durable and marine grade and lots
: less money. Also is available in fairly thin thicknesses, though
: with less selection than Okoume.

: Bill H.

I talked to the local supplier of the Hydrotek a while back and he said that you have to be really careful if you're using it for small boats because its weight can vary tremendously from sheet to sheet as the interior plies can be any of several different species and still meet the specs. I can't find the email from the guy- but it was significant enough to make me reconsider using it.
