I am at the point where I am going to skin the top with plywood and I bought some cheap 1/8 luan plywood because it is all I could find. It was 15 bucks a sheet. I am having second thoughts and and trying to decide if I should spend the money and time seeking out marine ply. It seems to be about 40 a sheet for 1/8 inch. Can you guys give me some insight? I am planing on screwing it to the spars and treating it with thinned poly. I am also planning on fiberglassing the edges to seal it up. Please send me your ideas and concerns. After the ply is attached I have to source a supplier for aluminum. I need help in that department too! Not having the marine plywood is holding me back and I can't find it locally in the san diego area. I did find 1/4 douglas fir marine ply but I want to go with 1/8 inch. Please help!
