Okoume Plywood Acquired
My son and I drove to Annapolis, MD, this afternoon to pick up two sheets of 6mm 4′x8′ okoume plywood from Chesapeake Light Craft. This type of wood should resist rot and stand-up to salt water better than the plywood from Home Depot. I figured if I was going to put the time, money and effort into restoring this boat, that I might as well do it as well as I am able.
While at CLC Boats, I got to see some of the boat models in the shop, in person, and boy are they beautiful! The Skerry and the Noreaster Dory are my favorites. I got some good boat renovation tips from a guy that works there, so that helped make the trip – that and I got to spend some quality time with my son.
