Looking to rebuild and enlarge some wiring and equipment spaces around the helm. It seems most use starboard or some equivalent product for panel material. I am wondering if there is a source of something similar to the laminated plywood Grady used in the original construction.
Thanks

Depending on what you are trying to do, the lumber company at the following link may be a good source for raw material.

I’m actually in the process of doing this myself on my 1984 Overnighter. I decided to use marine plywood, 3 coats of epoxy, and finish with paint and vinyl piping on the edges. I chose plywood because it’s lighter weight than starboard, and it allowed me to choose a color that’s not white or black, and it seemed more forgiving to work with, even though it’s a lot of steps.

I just did a video on the first part of the process, if you’re interested. (Search youtube for the fishing mommy)
