I'm considering Okoume Marine Plywood for building a hull from scratch.
It comes in a convenient large size 5'x10'.
My question is what's the least thickness I can use, 6mm or 3mm?
I will laminate it and want to keep it light as possible..
Is it possible to bend it?
I may use the sides of an aluminum 12' boar I have.
The bow has a gradual 3' curve.
I also have a 14' flat bottom boat with structural damage to the back.
I was planning to make a 10' boat by cutting 4' off the back.
If bending the plywood isn't possible I could use an aluminum sheet to form the bow .
Any suggestions on building?
