Oh Steplift72, Ive saved about a hundred WoodenBoat mags over the years. They've got a ton of really good info in them! I've looked through the advertisements in the back and called alot of plywood dealers lately. Its a great mag for anybody who ownes a wooden boat.

I like wooden boat magazine, but i find after reading too many I have this urge build some over complicated row boat with way too many coats of varnish to be used as a boat, its a great magazine, I just wish they would stick to the tech side of it, I get bored with the complete biography of every person in teh North East that built a wooden boat in the early 1900's

I know a guy that keeps his boat here at the marina that owns a marine lumber company. It's called YachtCraft Company. His name is Churchill and his place is somewhere around here in Wilmington. He has ANY kind of wood you would need to build/restore a boat. His web site is www.yachtcraftcompany.com or you can callhim @ (910) 452-0032. He's a great guy and definitely won't jerk you around.

I subscribed to Wooden Boat Magazine for years but now pick up a copy a couple times a year. I've also been searching for long marine plywood for a surf dory. The demand has apparently gone because I can't find a sheet longer than 8' in Louisiana. Last nearby place to have it was apparently in Raceland, LA but they must be out of business. Until recently, two local lumber yards could special order marine plywood up to 24' length. Good luck, that's why I suggested the forum instead of the magazine, I've tried every number in the advertisement section.

I found a good place to buy marine plywood close by. Its called World Panel Products in Winsor, N.C. Talked with Al, who works there and was really helpful in selecting the right plywood for my project. I'll probley make a trip there this week.
