I looked for a while myself this past spring and couldn't find one. I called Coosa and they told me the closest place was on Long Island (NY). Talked to that distributor and he said yes, he was the closest to Boston. Per sheet price wasn't too bad, but shipping was a killer. Ended up going with Penkse Board after talking to a builder of a popular, contemporary hull in my area that uses the stuff.

BTW, Coosa sent me a couple of 1 foot square samples that I cut up and tested with epoxy, etc. I tried fitting them into the gap left by the 1-1/2" ply transom makeup that my SeaCraft had. The Coosa didn't fit. I measured it and found that it is actually 20mm thick, not 18mm (3/4"). That's a huge difference and, in my case, I never could have fit two layers of 3/4" Coosa Board into the perimeter gap on the transom of my boat.

Thanks, the shipping is the killer, I'm gonna ask around at a new custom building supply near me that may have acces to coosa or nidacore. I found a place that has nidacore some where off 495 but I cannot find the link.

I am coming back up to the cape for Labor Day and could bring you some. You could just meet me on the way. We sell it.

opps I forgot i posted this one, thanks for the offer man , I just got some saples of the coosa and I will check in to it a little further, but I think I my go plywood if the coosa is a little to thick, I sent for 1/2 inch and 1.5 inch samples. Gotta getteh tape out and measure the samples up!
