It hard board for making templates. At eight dollars a sheet it's much cheaper before you f-up a 200 dollar piece of nice plywood.

...yup, that works. i used to supply my guys(carpenters) with 1/8'' lauan mahogany, which were $6-7 bucks a sheet for templates & ripping strips of, on a tablesaw, to make templates with. they were the doorskins for interior doors. don't know what they sell for these days. probably double that now.

When I started gutting my daughters 14' Royalcraft the core I pulled up was 1/8" pegboard. I started grinding and could not figure out what all these little round fiberglass cylinders were til I figured out is was peg board glassed over. Needless to say it was removed and replaced with balsa

The lower right photo with the cranes, is the pit area at San Diego.

That is where I saw the Turbines race for the first time. And the first time the Bud boat came to the pit turn at full speed, I actually got a little nervous for the driver.
Because of the high speeds it was taking the corners at.

Masonite/pegboard can hold a ton of resin. Its definitely a no-no in fiberglass construction. Pretty sure you would have to cover it with some kind of primer/sealer to keep it from continually absorbing the resin - resin itself won't seal it.
