[QUOTE="satx78247, post: 373948, member: 11019"] rscottp, Here in TX, MDO is cheap (at least as inexpensive as plain "good quality" exterior plywood), as compared to MARINE & lasts just as long. MDO however is downright PRICEY in "home improvement mega-stores", IF they have it at all. Also, as it is made for sign-painters it takes paint well & finishes smoothly. - I know of several boats that have lasted for a long time with no more surface preparation that primer & paint. - One is a Phillip Bolger design called a CLAM SKIFF that has been used for over 2 decades as a commercial trotline boat 7/365 & based in Galveston County, TX. Thus, "buried in a transom" or coated with epoxy as a sole (floor) of a tin hull, it should outlast everyone, who is old enough to read this post. yours, satx [/QUOTE]
