Mike, have you done the "full sapele" refit on a 13 or 15? I really like the look of it, and might be interested in such for my 15 SuperSport - probably not until next fall, though. A couple of concerns:

1) Would the sapele ply hold up as well as the original wood? A previous owner had replaced the front hatch cover on my 15 with sapele ply, and the sapele part has bubbled away from the rest of the ply - don't know how it was maintained, though.

2) Would the thwarts be stiff enough? I'm thinking that even in full inch size the plywood might be less robust than the original mahog - thr front thwart, in particular, would be a concern.
