I have a few spring projects on the Grady and one is replacing the panel at the rear of the cockpit. On my I/O the panel goes from a couple of inches above the deck and runs up about 22" IIRC and is as wide as the cockpit. I have replaced this panel once and it is time to redo it. I was looking into Starboard but would think that that is heavier than wood, just rebuilding it with coated marine ply or I see that Starboard has a product called Starboard XL (I think) that is lighter than standard Starboard. The Starboard appleals to me because I would think if I use that product I am done, ply I might be doing it again in the future. The way that the panel is bolted to the fiberglass along the top the panel I don't think it can not be too structural. So what is the best way to go Starboard, wood or has anyone experience with the Starboard XL.
