Jim: IMO you are in a location that should have some sellers of marine plywood. Do a Google Maps search for 'marine hardwood'. Challenge is you are wanted a small bit of wood v. a sheet. Another option is to use iroko instead of teak. This wood is less expensive; very similar resistance to rot like teak; and used commonly by plywood boat builders. It is stiffer and doesn't take bending like teak - so not an issue for a hatch board. I replaced my M17s hatch boards with iroko veneer plywood. Iroko is lighter colored than teak. :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - m15namedscred.wordpress.com <<-- new site!
