There are some projects where starboard is not your best option. For example, Coosa Board is better for transoms and decks due to its rigidity and comparably lighter weight. Similarly, some customers prefer accessories with a high-gloss finish that matches the boat's gel coat. For these customers, acrylic is the better choice. Lastly, for applications where the material will be visually hidden (upholstery substrate for example), using Starboard would be unnecessarily expensive and lower cost Expanded PVC is a better value option.

Custom cuts and full sheets are available 24/7 at Boatoutfitters.com, if you need help placing an order or have any questions we have a team of experts here to help.
The strength of starboard depends on its size and thickness. Starboard is easily strong enough to be used for hatch lids, and swim platforms but it must be supported properly. The actual tensile strength of starboard at yield is over than 4,100 PSI.
One of the best things about starboard is that it's maintenance free. Starboard never needs to be polished or refinished and is easy to clean. Dish soap, citrus cleaners, alcohol, mineral spirits or a magic erasers are all good options for cleaning Starboard.
Starboard can not be painted, there are no paints, dyes, or stains that will hold to the material for any significant amount of time. Not being able to paint starboard is not a common issue due to all the available color options.
King Starboard can not be glued, it has to be assembled using stainless fasteners or plastic welding rods. Some adhesives claim to bond starboard, but none offer permanent adhesion. Caulks like Elastomeric Marine Sealant can be used with starboard to seal seams but must be used in addition to screws or bolts.
