    When I started this project 6 years ago I bought marine plywood with a quarter sawn mahogany (some call it ribboned mahogany) from Dixie plywood. Was very happy with it, since then I have discovered M&M hardwoods in holly hill, they stock a lot of rough sawn hardwoods. They have been a great source until this project. I purchased 3/4" sapele quarter sawn laminated ply from them, only to find ALOT of delamination. They quoted me a price from Dixie, and from their supplier in Deland, I went for the cheaper price from Deland, my mistake! I am sure they would have replaced it, but I choice to work around it, hopfully it will not continue to delame.

    I really like that bridge ladder with the center offset.

    That will save you a lot of square feet and enable you to have a seat or mini-mezzanine against the rear bulkhead. love it.

    really nice

    I would like to fly the American flag on my boat. I am looking for suggestions on what size and where. I am willing to fabricate something if I see a great idea. Out of the way, easy to get to, nothing to tangle in etc. No tower, hardtop, not really a fan of flying off the outriggers, only need one flag. Pictures would be nice.

    You are doing a fantastic job on that redo, they could use you in Maryland! Post usually has a center transom mounted flag. I'll send you a picture of mine if I can figure out how to upload it. Keep us posted on your Post
