Frequently Asked Questions
Marine plywood specifications for South Florida boat builders, contractors, and marine fabricators.
What is the difference between BS 1088 and regular marine plywood?
BS 1088 is the British Standard for marine plywood — the most widely recognized international specification. It requires void-free core construction, WBP (waterproof boil-proof) adhesive, and specific face veneer quality standards. Panels labeled “marine plywood” without BS 1088 certification may allow small core voids and use lower-quality adhesive. For structural boat building, always specify BS 1088-certified panels.
Can I use marine plywood for dock construction in South Florida?
Yes — marine plywood is excellent for dock decking, dock boxes, and above-water dock structures. For submerged or ground-contact components, pressure-treated lumber is typically required by Florida Building Code. Our team can advise on the right combination for your specific dock project and local code requirements.
Do you sell marine plywood to individual builders, or only large contractors?
We serve both. We are a wholesale distributor and our pricing is geared toward trade professionals, but we welcome individual boat builders and DIY enthusiasts. Call us at (305) 884-0860 to discuss your project requirements and current pricing.
What is the lead time for marine plywood delivery in Miami?
We offer same-day delivery across Miami-Dade and Broward counties for in-stock material. For large orders or less common species, please call ahead to confirm availability and schedule. Standard delivery includes forklift drop-off to your site — no additional equipment needed.
Do you carry Okoume plywood certified to BS 1088?
Yes. We stock BS 1088-certified Okoume marine plywood with certification documentation available on delivery. Required for ABYC-compliant builds and insurance-rated vessels. Call (305) 884-0860 to confirm current certified stock before your visit or delivery order.
Which marine plywood species is best for boat building in South Florida?
Okoume is the industry standard for lightweight performance boats — racing hulls, kayaks, skiffs. Meranti is preferred for commercial vessels and fishing boats where durability and cost efficiency matter more than weight. Sapele is specified for premium interior joinery. Keuring for maximum-strength structural members like transoms and hull bottoms. Our team will match you to the right species for your application and budget.
