Default Re: Coosa

Scott,

I am currently installing Coosa Bluewater 26 in my 23SC rebuild. I have completed the transom (full)and in the process of redoing the deck (1/2"coosa core). For the transom I laminated a 1/12" and 1/2" piece of coosa together for a core of 2".The Coosa has been great to work with. I initially started cutting it with a jigsaw, but it was devouring blades (carbide) like crazy. When I did the rough cut for the deck patterns I used a sawzall. It worked super. You just have to take your time in order to cut without weaving. Th coosa is a dream to sand , but make sure to wear long sleeves. I had to construct a new
subdeck for the portside and I am planning to install the core (coosa) in the next several weeks. The coosa is expensive( I have about $2200in just coosa)but you don't have to worry about water intrusion. The only draw back I have experienced is it doesn't hold screws as well as plywood.
