Beginning to look a little like a boat now. Heading to Boston in couple of days to pick up Sapele Plywood – almost warm enough to start planking – maybe another week or so.

UPDATE 4/22/24: Got Sapele Plywood from Boulter (outside of Boston). About a 2 1/2 hour drive – picked off peak traffic and it still sucked. Had forgotten how much I truly hate cities and traffic. Plywood fits exactly where I planned for it last winter.
