Hi Brian
some time ago I did some google research about types of marine ply. I managed to find some balsa marine ply. If i remember correctly, it made a saving of 2kg per 4mm sheet, over okoume. For a whole kayak the saving could be 6-8Kg
The downside was the cost - over �250 per sheet. That would be an expensive boat.
