[bolger] Tapaz panels

Chuck, your suggestion of using panels of foam or such and making
composites were timely. I just received the catalog from NOAHS. What
is interesting is the price of pre-preg balsa as well as core cell foam
is very competative with plywood right now. Their prices are Canadian
which I assume is still around 40% exchange. This makes a very good
buy. I will be mailing them tonight. Balsa is a very good core if
properly glassed over so water does not enter. Not hard to do on a
boxy boat like Bolgers. Thanks for the suggestion, may try it out.
The best, Brad
