Starboard

[cfronczek]

Is there a local source for starboard? Need a piece 10.25" by 34.75" x .5". Looking to go BB for my tank.

Thanks.

I got some from American plastics a while ago. They are in that industrial area near 49th and Bryan Dairy.

Any marine store, boat service center, can order and have it next day for no additional cost. Many probably have it in stock.

depot sells 2x4x.5 sheets now I think $50ish

You can go with regular cutting board material, which is similar to starboard but cheaper, only difference is, it doesn't have the UV protection that starboard has. American Plastics is where I get everything plastic related.

I know FAOIS has plenty and I am sure they are competitive on pricing

Just for comparison, I paid just under $50 a 48x24 sheet of white 3/4" and that was with the cuts included.

Don's marine salvage, off 49th st at about 126th ave n.
Great selection and prices in any color. Up to maybe 5" thick!
Mind you the bulk of it is scrap but they do have new.
I have and would recommend sterilizing any yard pieces used.

Be warned you can spend hours and thousands here.
I know I have for countless projects.

For anyone who does go up there, your welcome... hahaha

Oh yeah! I didn't even think about that place. Also, any sort of boating store i.e West Marine is more than likely going to charge more than a plastics place will. Also just called faois and I guess they only have 1/4" which I think is plenty thick enough. I went way overboard with the 3/4" simply because it's what they had for scrap at the time.
