John,
Can't help you with those locations, but I can tell you to be ready for sticker shock on material prices. Government sent 13 trainloads of plywood to Iraq over a year ago and the prices haven't come back down nearly enough from the spike that caused. Two plants were shut down, one for retooling, another from a fire in Quebec. The remaining plants could not meet demand, especially after last year's hurricane season. Add in fuel increases and the premium we already pay for marine grade and.......  eessed:
Yes that was TRAINLOADS!

John If I could figure out how to get plywood off a train moving at about 20 mph I could help you every day freght train goes by with at least 15 cars of wood products on it. Not sure where it is all going but a lot of goes down the track everyday. Like someone be ready for sticker shock it is going to surprise you. THomT

Hi John-
Check DBS in Dartmouth, they have decent pricing. JT's on Aquidneck Island has a few sheets left of 3/8" I believe, but marine grade plywood is pretty expensive. The only difference is the layers, not the type of wood used. I redo decks quite a bit for my customers, and just use quality building type plywood. You will have to coat both sides with a layer of sealant, but the extra work saves lots of money off the marine grade stuff. I say don't waste yer money on the marine grade plywood, its twice the price. Can't use pressure treated either, trust me on that one........

I agree with squidler. just use regular grade A plywood and sop it up with catalyzed resin.
