[QUOTE="skipper123, post: 433360, member: 6070"] Yep, I learned the hard way about counter fit BS marine plywood. I had planned to build a small house boat from one of the wood boat web sights. I started with a small 14ft boat to get my smarts about stitch and glue building and then planned to start my house boat. The 14 ft epoxy/ plywood boat turned out beautiful but before I got to start the big boat build my little 14 ft fishing boat started to fall apart. $900.00 down the trash hole, epoxy materials ant cheap. No Im not a boat builder or carpenter but the way I see it wood and water dont mix. That costly little experience turned me against building anything with wood that goes on a boat. I now fish from alu boats only and will never build anything below the waterline with wood again. On a side note I absolutely love the looks of a wood boat. Always have, I just chalked it up as a great learning experience and figure wood boats are not for the working man. [/QUOTE]
