Honker Bill of Materials
HULL MATERIAL LISTING: The following listing is an estimate of the materials
required and is intended to serve as a general guide only. Check the various
options and alternatives to the plans, to the work, and to the materials which
may be available in the area in which the hull will be built. The listing may
also vary due to the amount of waste and other variables that cannot be
controlled.
LUMBER: All lumber used should be first grade, free from knots,
shakes, checks, or other defects. Grouping lumber and purchasing
"random-random" material and re-sawing to the required size will
result in considerable savings. All lumber sizes should be checked to the work
before purchasing wherever possible. Lumber typical to the locale and proven in
use in boats of similar type can be used as long as the weight, strengths, and
characteristics are similar. Suitable boatbuilding woods include Douglas-fir
(D.F.), white oak, mahogany (Mahog), Philippine dark red, American, or African
types commonly used in boats), Sitka spruce, Alaskan or Port Orford cedar, and
yellow pine. The listing calls out the preferable material but substituting
lumbers as noted in the foregoing is optional. All 1" lumber is standard
"four quarters" lumberyard stock, usually finished to ¾"
thickness, while all widths are net. All 2" thick material is standard
lumberyard stock in both width and thickness. Widths of 2" x 2" stock
may be a split 2" x 4" that will provide a width slightly greater
than 1 ½". Construction grade 2" lumber is generally
unacceptable as it is seldom properly dried. All lengths listed allow for
cutting to fit.

PLYWOOD: All plywood must be intended for marine (Mar.) or exterior
(Ext.) use; interior grades are not acceptable. The marine grade panel features
higher grade inner ply cores, while the exterior plywood grade cores may have
voids not apparent to the eye, and may also use those made from woods not as
suitable for marine applications. Exterior panels may also be "scant"
or slightly less than the full noted dimension. In most cases, the glues used
in both the marine and exterior panels are the same waterproof type, however,
the decision to use exterior panels in lieu of marine panels must lie with the
builder, considering the particular use of the panel in the boat and the
expected service. The letters A, B and C designate the grade of the exterior
veneers with A grade the best, etc. Douglas-fir (DF) is acceptable for all
plywood, although mahogany or other attractive veneers are optional. The
plywood planking, bottom and sides, are preferably marine grade.
