King Starboard is a marine-grade polymer, which means it's a high-tech plastic that will stand up to salt water and sun a lot better than most types of wood--without a lick of maintenance, and often at lower cost. This tough marine polymer won't rot or absorb water, so it's a great solution for swim platforms, hand rails, steps, dinghy chocks fish-cleaning tables and other applications.
Please understand that any cut pieces (project panels, quarter sheets) sizes can vary by as much as a 1/4" due to saw kerf when cutting sheets down, so if your project calls for sizes the same as what we offer, move to the next size up so you can get nice clean finished edges when you cut to your size.
Our 1" thick King Starboard is heavy stuff, right at 5 lbs per square foot. If you have a big, wide-beamed, heavy-displacement power boat that can support the weight, 1" Starboard and Starboard AS will make for a fine swim platform (again, properly supported with closely spaced frames). It also serves well as mounting pads and/or backing blocks for very heavy-load hardware such as anchor windlasses and big sheet winches.
What it can do. You can work King Starboard with standard woodworking tools and assemble components with standard screws and fasteners. I'm sold on this material as a faster, longer lasting, economical alternative to marine wood products in many situations.

"Thanks for getting the starboard to me so quick, as well as being so helpful over the phone. Your customer service is great. " |
What it can't do. You won't be using King Starboard to build boat hulls, because it's not a structural material. That means it needs to be supported by a load-bearing frame or substrate. You also won't be using King Starboard where temperatures are likely to exceed--or even get close to--180 degrees Fahrenheit, because it'll start to melt and you'll have all sorts of problems. And King Starboard expands and contracts with normal temperature variations, so you'll need to allow for that when you assemble various components.
