Boulter Marine Plywood

[JHS]

Has anyone purchased from Boulter recently? They have a new location in Medford, MA
The yelp reviews are very good or very bad. This seems to be the nearest location to me for teak & holly 3/4" to replace the cabin flooring. Therefore the shipping would be cheaper than from another known supplier in Stuart, FL I've also heard of one in Ohio. Anyone used any others recently. I live near Rochester, NY

Been a while but I always had a good experience with them.

I picked up a half sheet of marine 1/2" sapele from them last winter. I drove the 6 hours to save on shipping. They were good to me. I am surprised you can't find closer to Rochester (Buffalo?). Shipping will kill. What are you looking for? The box stores sell marine grade fir plywood. It will be a special order, but you'll save on shipping. https://m.lowes.com/pd/1-2-CAT-PS1-...-Sanded-Plywood-Application-as-4-x-8/50254847
Sorry, I see you wrote teak and holly flooring. Never mind.

I live 10 minutes from Boulter and have used them for years as has everyone I know that has needed any kind of marine grade wood.
They are great to work with so I wouldn’t be concerned about that. However as others have mentioned, shipping could be prohibitive, but I can’t speak to that....

I just used Boulter for my sole replacement. I can't say enough good things about them. i was fortunate enough to have 2 rectangular pieces for my sole in the main salon (saloon, whatever...) they cut my pieces to my specs and shipped to my house about 60 miles away. Some of the pieces came by UPS and some by truck freight. I think I paid about $50 to have the larger shipment delivered by truck and $20 for the UPS. The pieces got damaged in shipping by UPS and Boulter replaced them, right away, without issue and an apology!

Before I traveled down to pickup my wood. I discussed shipping issues with the guys at Boulter. They suggested I send them the sizes and they can ship smaller pieces a lot cheaper. I didn't want to do that for my project, but you should consider that option.

What did you use to finish the teak and holly floor? Did you epoxy the sides and bottom?
