Here is the last question.... Okume is expensive compared to marine plywood, for example a sheet of 6mm Okume is dancing at $95 here, and 1/4" marine plywood is $40.00. Rounded figures here....Does anyone know the weight difference per sheet of marine plywood vs okume? I'm only looking to use 6 sheets totel, without cutting for the contours of the boat. I may use a sheet of Okume for the deck, as I want to create a wood inlay look with neon glow paint bloober doodles on the sides.
Thank you once again for the help!
