<p>Plywood = from Florida ($220 in shipping...ouch)</p>
<p>White Oak (Chine Cap, and Stem) = south of Atlanta, reasonable cost</p>
<p>Cypress (Floor Boards) = same as above</p>

Hey Dino. I'm in Atlanta. I ordered my plywood through Southern Crown Boatworks who in turn ordered from World Panel. Had I known this I would have gone straight to world panel myself.

<p>You may also find a treasure trove of information to guide you along your journey by reading the discussions found on the site. Almost everyone building a drift boat has the same needs as they progress down the path. The questions that you develop have most likely been posted by several folks before you. We all have to complete similar tasks and often run into the same issues. The Search box at the top right corner of the site can lead you to a multitude of answers. Posting a question rather than a word or two will return many more results.</p>
<p>Good luck on your project. Please post pictures as you work on your boat.</p>
