Plywood!!! Okoume BS 1088 throughout

I bit the bullet today and ordered my plywood from Boulter Plywood in Sommerville, MA.  I called at 2:00 PM and by 3:00 PM the driver was calling to tell me I could have it by 3:30PM!!!  Incredible.
Unfortunately, I am not home....

Total bill was $1140.  So, I guess I am not buying a large screen TV this month.  With care this boat should last for a generation or two.  9 Sheets of 6mm,  3 sheets of 9 mm.

I will actually be boatbuilding by tomorrow!!!
