I like the wood you used inside the cabin is that a ply wood or tongue and grove wood and is there air space behind it or is epoxied to the outer cabin bulk heads

I ripped white cedar to a fat 1/4" inch x 3 inches and sanded smoothe and rounded the edges with a round over bit. This created a T&G appearance.

I then glued them to divinicell foam core which I glued to plywood outside with a skin of white cedar half lapped running horizontal for a planked looking hull affect without any issues of planked cabins and hulls. This method also insulated the cabin too. This saves you from the issues of sweating and having a cabin thats really hot in the summertime and cold in the winter time. I also built the superstructure this way to reduce weight.

[quote="Oyster"]Small purchases can be had here, for starters. They sell the scored board which I use for serious curved shapes. But you can actually take a heat gun and shape flat board for any job too.

Hum, lets not get too crazy with promoting alternative materials that may end up in the wrong hands and boat shed. There is a lot of additional engineering involved to solely forgo engineered parts from drawn plans, such as the case with this website. This is what I was afraid of early on when I actually had an in progress building thread for some detailed upgrades while I was in the building phase. After further discussion and a period of thoughts and comments I removed it. So buyer beware, unless alternative materials other than wooden material is specifically speced out for a boat, caution is recommended without some further discussion with a qualified individual.
