Wood for Predator outrigger

[tnjeff]

Hello all. I am new to boat building. I got a 3d printed sprint boat with a jet pump and got hooked. Now I'd like to build a Predator outrigger from the plans at aerofred.com. My problem is that I'm finding it difficult to find the 1/32 ply that the plans call for, and it's pretty expensive. I'm wondering what I could use for a substitute.
I thought maybe 1/16 basswood or hard balsa, maybe with a layer of glass. Any ideas? Thanks for taking a look.

Thanks Bande1, that is a pretty good price. The closest Hobbytown wanted 82.00 for the same thing, if they had it, which they don't.

Thank you. If it's the same stuff he uses for kits I might buy some.

I've been getting plywood from Midwest Products lately. I think the prices are good.

As long as the quality is there.
