I have a 1972 model, 16ft. medium side that I replaced the transom, revarnished the inside and repainted the exterior.They're made of 3/8in exterior plywood and it looks like teak and oak framing. The transom and parts of the bottom are rotten on my friends. The bottom was made from a 3/8in.x4x16ft sheet of exterior grade plywood. I'd like to replace it with the same 16ft piece of plywood if possible. Does anybody know where I might be able to get a 16ft. sheet of 3/8in. bc plywood from? I can scarf two 8ft. pieces of plywood together but I'd rather have the bottom skin all in one piece. Thanks! CF

I'd find a locally owned lumber yard in your area and ask them that same question...
You also might Google Marine Plywood and see what pops up...good luck and let us know how it works out...
