: Sounds interesting Bill. I am looking forward to your pic. How was the cost?

$25/sheet. I got it from Harris Enterprise in Manchester, CT (No affiliation, etc). Since this is my first shot at a boat, I figured that I'd comprimise. I didn't want to spend the $50/sheet for marine mahogony (Cheapest I could find, though I could have driven to Boston. But it was January, and didn't want to strap expensive ply to the roof and get caught in a snowstorm/have roadgrime flying). I also wanted something a little higher quality than the doorskins that I'd seen, so there I went. The stuff I got was made in Russia, but is still good by almost any measure (Voids, etc)
