.393 vs .250

Thats going to be a bit on the heavy side, and take some muscle to wrap
around for the hull, but its doable. .25 Luan plywood seems to be the skin
of choice for a lot of small boats. That extra 1/8+ is going to add up.


It will be heavier than I would like. But the price was right and should be fine after it is in the water. If the weight is a big problem , can always build another lighter one.

I have a 10 foot john boat that I can haul around in my pickup. So no problem here, but my grandson in in upstate New York and does not have access to a pickup.
