Coosa

Forgot
The 3/4" Bluewater 26 4x8 was $305 a sheet

We use it or a similar product in the bracket transoms and I have used it on a few transom repairs.

Sorry, I wasen't very clear with my numbers. I said
"...a local plywood dealer has 4'x8', 3/4 A/B doug fir marine for $80 sheet". I should have added that it weighs about 75#'s/sheet.

So, in comparison to the Bluewater 1.5" Coosa, the answer to my question may be that the Coosa represents a 43%+/- weight savings, but at a 250% increase ($400+/-) increase in cost. I'm not suggesting one is better than the other, just trying to understand the issues involved with each material.

I'm not sure about prices these days, but I picked up a 4' x 8' and 1 1/2 inch thick sheet in New Orleans about two years ago for $200. I ordered the bluewater 26 and was quoted about $300. I think I actually got the bluewater 20. Not reel sure. Very easy to work with. Cut out the transom but still haven't glassed it in yet. Sad to say this has become a long term project.
