Lighter, stronger, no risk of rot.
That is why se stop using plywood in that size range.

jacques, boats with balsa cored decks virtually ALL become squishy soft over
time. boats with plywood cored decks almost never do, and those that do, do so
only in small areas. plywood cored decks are almost as long-lived as solid
fiberglass decks, and weigh less.

Have heard repeatedly from highly experienced, long term naval architects that
plywood hulls covered inside/outside and between plywood sheets are stronger
pound for pound than most any other material out there. About the only thing
that beats ply is damned expensive composites.

Very few plywood boats out there, though. People think they are wood and
therefore won't build they from scratch and won't buy used ones.

This is as true as anything else Jax posts.

That must explain why all the America's Cup boats are built from plywood.

Yep plywood boats are so rare that they are really a tremendous novelty.
I bet that nobody here knows as much about building boats from plywood
as *you* do, Jax!

Yeah, Jax hits most people that way. ;-)

That's just disturbing.

yeah, she describeds herself as a , fat tatooed ex-stripper who lives an upper
middle class lifestyle in a trailer house in a VA or NC hillbilly area where
her electricity has been turned off for non-payment of the bill.

her site is registered via another site owned by her current husband -- using a
phony address and phony phone number -- through a site registration mill in
Switzerland.

Is that the kind of woman you like? fat. tatooed? Living in a trailer house
in the hills? with the electricity turned off?

you are a sick puppy, matt. does your mother know who your father was?

the keel?) Coyote, a boat on which the keel fell off, killing Mike Plant, a
high school friend of my sister.
