Fir & Okume

[Ola]

Hi Jacques,<BR><BR>Last question today - it´s evening and time to go to sauna. <BR>How about if I build OB17 so, that all the 6 mm plywood is Okume and others (9 and 12 mm) are fir plywood? I know it´s not the best solution, but some kind of a economical compromise. <BR><BR>Regards, Ola <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_eek.gif">

That is perfect. <BR>Nice marine Okume or Meranti for the hull, less expensive fir for all inside parts.<BR>That way, if you ever run over some rocks and get a serious scratch through the hull or forget to coat a hole you drilled for the depth sounder, your boat will still survive because the outer skin is marine ply.<BR>Have a nice sauna but here we are 6 hours earlier: still have to work until 5 PM!
