Good evening. About a year ago I needed a boat quickly, and on a tight budget. I have already posted photos of some earlier repairs. In less than 1 year, I am on my third case of water intrusion/delamination. What I saved last year I am spending this year on repairs. I would rather have a better stronger boat. The other thing that I discovered is that the grain of the outside veneers only matches one other ply, so, if you run the veneers length wise on your boat you end up with one real ply and 2 veneers running lengthwise and 2 plys running vertical. Should have spent the extra hundred bucks to get real plywood. JRC
