Jim for what it's worth last winter I replaced the deck panels in the cockpit of my cruiser. They were plywood and rotted out. I went with divinicell (spell?) type foam that we laminated on a big formica table with biax on both sides. You could not get me to use anything that grew in tree form as a core unless there is a good reason like an engine stringer. Unless there is a compression load like tightening a bolt the strength is in the glass anyhow. I go with FastDonzi. It was probably overkill but we used vinylester.

Jim , you sure are going to be saving some weight considering that 3/4 ply weighs an arm and a leg .

Finally got a chance to go back at it.
I did cut and fit the pieces under the v berth. I hope to glass them in tomorrow. Here are the parts cut from the 3/4 inch panel.

Round 1 today. This is no fun doing it alone. I will be glad to get out of this forward section.
Its just about time to prep the next section. I will grind out the marglass that I tabbed it in with and mud in the next center section. I think I will mud in the next cross piece now I have I little more room so I can do the entire block at once.
