Meranti Hydro-Teck marine grade 4mm
For my Wood Duck build, I found a local source for the Meranti marine grade plywood...
Has anyone used that for kayak builds instead of the Okume?
Beautiful wood..

I have used Meranti. It is marketed here as Pacific Maple. It is is a bit darker than Okume and slightly heavier. IMO it is a nicer looking timber. Hard to see the difference in the pic as it was a very sunny day

If it's marine grade you should be fine since that's the only reason that CLC uses the Okoume they use (as far as I know) rather than some other option.
