[QUOTE="FishinLite, post: 456239, member: 17366"] I used 5/8" baltic birch and marine plywood in my Lund restoration project. The marine plywood for surfaces that were carpeted (floor sections, bulkheads, etc). The baltic birch for compartment tops, seat benches, and dash panels. In both cases they were sealed with two coats of "Old Timer's Formula" and then finished with at least two coats of spar varnish. The Baltic birch was chosen for a quality of appearance. It cost me about the same price as marine plywood and both were available at a local big box store. My boat is not abused (left out uncovered in the weather). I expect both plywood product to have about the same life. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20170718_154409.jpg"]98778._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
