Teak Plywood

When I put new bulkheads in my 26 I got the plywood here. It is located just north of Boston in Somerville Rick

General Woodcraft

I replaced the bulkheads in my 26 with teak plywood purchased from General Woodcraft in New London, CT. Price was $180 per sheet in 2005.

what about tabbing

Thank you for your responses. What did you use to tab in your bulkheads? cloth? resin? Did you use a foam spacer between the wood and the hull? Thanks again! seth-

Appleman, This is a bit off topic, but what did you use for the new hull liner that is shown in your photo? Bob

materials

My boat had the nice bright red walls. Fortunately whoever had it faced right the existing with 1/4" teak.. So, I plan to use a the teak as a template for new 1/4"teak that I will adhear to finish grade 1/2"plywood. This will conceal the tab and cost will be reduced. I also plan to coat the end grain with resin to keep any water out. Seth-
