are you looking at building a silver gull 19?......if so i'm
jealous....that is what i was wanting to build in my garage but it
just would'nt fit unless i built the cabin and keel and then
assembled it in my yard....then there was the problem of trailering
nd launching it behind my tiny subaru. Micro it is. Can't complain
about that.

Tom,
Get yourself all 1/2 MDO and use a single layer for the sides.Get
the good 2 sides MDO since it will break your heart trying to make
the interior as slick as the outside with plain 3/8 exterior.Keep
the 2 layers of half inch on the bottom since the weight there will
help the most.
Sincerely,

Hi All,
I have really pick up some terrific information following my initial
inquiry and I really appreciate the feedback. I do have one more question.
The plans of a dory that I am costing out call for two layer of 3/8""
plywood for the sides and two layers of 1/2'' plywood for the bottom. This is
overkill as far as the strength is required but the weight helps the function
of the boat. My thought was that I would use 3/8'' MDO for the outerlayer and
3/8'' exterior plywood for the inner layer on the sides and use 3/8''MDO as
the outer layer and two layers of 3/8'' plywood for the inner layers of bottom
that will not be exposed to the water. All layers will be properly glued and
screwed together. Also all edges will be taped and sealed and the bottom either
glassed or at least sealed by multiple coats of primer and paint.
Any comments. Thanks again for the feedback so far. Tom on Sandpiper
in SW Florida.
