Well I will throw in another option, that I believe is far better. Harbor sales are now carrying signal mdo made by olympic, can be shipped anywhere, reasonable priced particularly when compared to foreign made plys. Good quality mdo has been used for boat hulls for over 50 years. Probably the best ...
