[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 5713, member: 55"] With composites, there is no need for a ply, as it can be formed into whatever shape. Plywood is make from thin plys, that were actually curved around the tree. I mean, the wood was basically unrolled, then flattened, and glued together, with the grain going the opposite way. They can't unroll a 3/4 inch piece, so they have to glue many together. Composites can be made however thick they want. But, at this point, many of the composites are not practical for boat use. To heavy, or not strong enough, and often too expensive. Aluminum is a great choice for decks, but it can get a little pricey. [/QUOTE]
