The best exterior grade you can find. If you want the boat to last 20 years, buy occoume (BS1088) grade plywood but be prepared to shell out a grand... Anyway I am doing mine of exteior ply. With care, it will last someone 10 years. Get 7 sheets of plywood for the hull. 4@1/2inch and 3@3/4inch. You will also need a bunch of standard framing material. A 4x4 for the stem, 2@1x4 for the chinelogs, 2@2x6 for the sheet clamp rails (gunnels) another 16 footer for the keel, and a 2x4 or two for floor rails and non-detailed interior framing. On the framing lumber, just take a day or two, even a couple of trips if necessary to get the clearest douglass fir you can find. The 20 footers need to be particularly clear as they will be bent around the sides of the boat.. more on that later. Screw the trolls.. this is much more fun... |
