Where can you buy 5x10x3/4 ply wood or atleast 4x10 ? I want to build a molby 1 type trailer and thought about making it a little taller.
Thanks

I bought a sheet of 3/4 Okoume marine ply from boulter playwood in Somerville MA. I think they ship orders elsewhere...

If you live anywhere near with they build boats check with the boatyards where they get their lumber from.

You can use standard sheet sizes & just join the pieces together to make whatever size you want. I added a foot in length to my build that way. There are several ways of doing the joint. Pictures in my build if you're interested, don't remember which page but close to the beginning of the build somewhere. Over-sized sheets are just too spendy, when you can buy the standard 4x8 sheet at a good price.

Two pieces of 5x5 Baltic birch ply spliced together works well too. That's what I did on my first build.
