when choosing your marine grade wood. try to use the wood that has more plies. ie if you have a choice of 1/4" with 3ply and 1/4" 5 ply. go with the 5 ply and use wood with a/b faces just makes it easier. don't scrimp on the core. get the best core possible.

here is a guide on choosing wood http://bateau2.com/content/view/68/28/
