Default GP "Plytanium"

Thank you, Glen. I don't know Noah's. perhaps you could send me some
specific contact info. That would be a great help. I'm in Atlanta.

As to scarfing -- I'm well-versed and well-practiced. Sometime,
though, I'd like to play with the longer stuff.

BTW, see this December's Wooden Boat for a somewhat over-engineered
but impressive scarfing jig.

Plytanium is just a catchy trade name for Georgia Pacific SYP exterior
plywood. Heavy, 1/8" interior plys, some voids.

I am in Macon and find it cheaper to order okoume and meranti from
Noah's than any marine plywood source in Georgia.

As far as longer than 8', learn to scarf.

Is anybody familiar with this product? anybody using it/have used it
for boatbuilding? Finally, where to find 8 ft. and larger plywood for
boatbuilding (A/C ok, but prefer marine grade) in the Atlanta area?

Finally, I'm not real technical, so I'm looking for simple,
easy-to-use Boat design software that can help me develop flat panels
for plywood construction from simple hull shapes. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
