Hi,
Can anyone advise of any sources of 12 inch wide mahogany planks of at least 18 and preferably 20ft long.
Many thanks
John

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions but its got to be Brazilian mahogany - Its for two Chris Craft speedboats - a 1936 16' double cockpit runabout and a 1955 21' continental utility.

There seems to be plenty of the stuff around in the US, but sources here seem to be drying up.
