Author	Topic:   teak plywood
TahoeChris	posted 06-22-2000 11:50 PM ET (US)         Anybody know where I can find large (4x4 or 4x8) pieces of teak plywood? Does such a thing exist? If not, how about "marine grade" plywood? Thanks!

Boston Whaler used the 1/4" teak plywwod for years for the Outrage stern sump covers. Look to a specialty or hardwoods lumber retailer as a source.
