Understandable. But, you asked the question on the difference between marine and standard ply B/C, or CDX.
I'm using CDX for some seating in my boat, and I'm not worried about it - but, I'm not using it as structural, or to handle the torque of 800 hp either - different applications, different materials will suffice.

As thick as your outer layer of glass is, what ever kind of wood you use will be fine! That thing is thick, Wow. How did this boat ride? When jumping wakes did the nose always stick way up in the air? When you get to the re-rigging part you may want to move some stuff forward, it seems everything is mounted to your transom or just in front of it.(if it's a lake boat that fine) on bay boats or offshore boats I like to see some stuff mounted more forward if you'll be jumping out of the water. Is there another bulkhead under the rear seat?

11-16-2009 10:46 AMThis is a bay and sometimes head out to the ocean boat. I have hit some decent size rollers and the boat always launched, flew, and landed neutral. Never once has it went nose high. You must remember this was a TRS boat and it had a trans which had the motor right up against the rear seat wall, so now that there is a bravo going in the boat and moving the motor back since there isnt a trans anymore there maybe a issue with weight transfer now. There is a rear bulkhead just under the rear seat and its thick also. I have heard some of these boats like weight up in the bow but iam going to wait and see how it handles next year before I start to mess around with weight transfer,etc. Also my buddy has the same boat as mine and just did a bravo on his and it handles the water great. So based off of what he has told me about our boats iam hoping there wont be to much weight in the rear of it now.

Plywood is fitted and made up some wedges for the new stringers. Ran out of daylight and temp to glue the wood to the fiberglass.
