Am looking for plywood less than 4 mm. Apparently, Okoume has no rot
resistance so I'd like something else. However, I cannot even find
Okoume less than 5/32" thick.
Any ideas?

You might want to take a look at a book called "Ultralight
Boatbuilding " by Thomas Hill.

http://www.amazon.com/Ultralight-Boa.../dp/0071567038

He has built a lot of small boats from Okoume and claims that it is
highly rot resistant. I've built a few things from it also and had no
problems. It is very strong for its weight and laminates well with
epoxy.

It may have been another thread where I mentioned this but I have found most
Occoume to be BS1088 and the occoume wood itself seems very rot resistant.
Another nice thing about it besides being light is it tends to bend very fair,
makes a nice even arc if you need it to.
