[QUOTE="bonz_d, post: 403470, member: 11276"] Welcome back! Looks like this will be a nice build and you've gotten quite a jump on it. I would look for some ACX sanded on side for the ply. Which is what I've been using. As for sealing the plywood of course it is well known that epoxy resin is the best choice over-all though there is something else that I've learned from a different site to seal with and have found it to work very well and is much less expensive. The formula goes like this. 1 part Boiled linseed oil, 1 part spar urethane and 2 parts mineral spirits. How much you are going to use will be determined by the moisture content of the wood. Dryer wood will absorb more and also seal better because of it. Vinyl covering is a great way to go and the website you've listed is about the best price you're going to find. I also think if you search the web you can find a better price for the seat base. Again look thru ebay. I like the way you've laid out the floor plan. You're starting point looks very similar to my Alumacraft Classic 16. [/QUOTE]
