Thread subject: Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos :: Using different wood then mahogany

Posted by cmilhan11 on 04/18/21 - 1:13 PM

So I have a 1970 13ft whaler, I want to make it a super sport style interior. I would like to use mahogany but wood prices are outrageous at the moment, could I use oak or some other type of wood and still keep its value, durability?

I used IPE for cooler chocks and bilge cover on my 1988 17' Montauk. All wood is very high priced now.

I have 2 interiors for a 13' Sport. Brand new vertical grain select mahogany $600

Nice original $450

Oak is no Bueno. It will stain black & you are doomed.
