Does anyone have experience using ipe to build a boat? Does it work with marine epoxy? I have read that it is about as strong as white oak and more durable. I can buy ipe in 1x4 material for $1.15 a lineal foot and 1x6 for $1.56 a lineal foot. This is less expensive than white oak locally which makes me want to use it.
