Nuplex say they are selling Plascore. See Marine Honeycomb – Marine Honeycomb Cores – Marine Composite Products

They're located in Michigan. The products may originate in the US after all.

Sales offices all over US: Plascore Manufacturing Representatives

Crabs are for eating mate. Not a professional just a recreational crabber.

Do you have Nuplex composites or Fibreglass international over there? They are my distributors.

I think I read they are for sharing also. I'll be right over with a 12 pack.

Hmm I wonder how much it would cost for you to ice and ship them crabs. I think we need a group buy. Make your new boat pay you back.

Have you priced Nida core? If not, take a look:

Nida Core : Noahsmarine.com

10 mm is about 3/8"

I'll stick with plywood thank you very much!

1/2" (13mm) isn't too much more than the 10mm and seems liek the best bang for the buck yes a bit more expensive than wood but for something that wont rot out ever and is lighter than wood and easier to cut and fit than wood might just be worth it. BTW all those extra air pockets would also act as extra floatation.

+1 ^^ What 73Chrysler105 said..

I certainly will consider this if I need to pop the top off my boat..

Re: Honeycomb tansom core.

I just spent $30 a sheet for Arauco Pine Plywood that if it ever gets wet which it shouldn't but if it does is susceptible to rot. So $60 for two sheets. If I went with the 13mm would need 3 sheets to do what I need to do for my transom. That's a little over $150 not sure how much it is worth it but since I already bought mine will be going with wood if I ever have to redo it then it will be something like this instead. Might be less expensive for a smaller boat.

I haven't bought the plywood for the floor yet and might just use this for that purpose. I wonder what the shipping is on something like that.

It's $173 for 3 sheets of 13 mm plus shipping, they won't tell you what the shipping is when you order... you have to contact them for a quote.

Not worth it to me, not by a long shot.

Decking sealed with epoxy resin will last as long as you do if you take care of your boat.
