Bahamageoff Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Can anyone tell me if southern pine is a viable material for building a small boat ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Depends on several things. What actually is "Southern pine", where on the boat will it be used, will it be saturated in epoxy, will the boat be left exposed to the weather, or stored inside. Check out the B and B Yachts forum for lots of advice and suggestions. Short semi-answer---for the kind of boats most of us build, marine ply and epoxy with wood framing, it should be fine.
