Default Okoume in strip-planking

Why would you want to do this?
You would have difficulty fairing the finished surface because the
rather thin plies in the plywood would break thru during fairing and
sanding.
If you have a design that calls for strip planking but want to use
plywood, convert it to glued lapstrake. Tom Hill's book Ultralight
Boatbuilding is the best book on this method for small boats.

It could be possible to use okoume (gaboon) instead of Red Western Cedar in
strip-planking?
advandages/disadvantages?

Thank's to all
