    Lumber yards should have it it came with a somewhat paper like beige colored layer on top (probably to help the paint to garb better) as I recall it was 60 inches wide by 8 feet. this goes back a while since I have had my new bass boats/75 ETEC 12 years now so we are talking 15-18 years ago when I did the transom on my previous rig with my totally amazing Classic 50 (loved that engine…trolled great, ran great..and drank twice the gas my ETEC drinks today 🙂 )

    update: did some googling ….this must have been the stuff (it was marine plywood …for balconies)

    The only kind of plywood you should use as decking material is marine plywood. There are several differences between marine plywood and normal plywood which make it the best choice for an alternative decking material. Marine plywood is seven to eight layers thick, and the epoxy used to bind the layers is waterproof. On top of that, the plywood itself is treated with waterproof sealer
