    Does anyone know where I might find the specific gravity (lbs/ft3) for common marine plywoods?
    or even a close "rule of thumb"?

    Okume?
    Marine doug fir?
    MDO?

    Thanks

    Here is a site that gives specific weights on thicknesses and types, at least of what they carry.

    Look under 'products' at the top of the page.

    Very nice! [img]smile.gif[/img]

    I was close with .041 for my Okume calculations.

    Thank you.

    PS. (Thanks for the great FreeShip forum Lewisboats)
