West Marine used to have it.
I'll go check it out and see if they have the size I need and if they want to charge an arm and a leg or not

I bought black starboard from Amazon for my boat. Cheap and fast to get. I couldn't find anywhere local that carries starboard!
That's what I am going to do after I called West Marine and they have nothing in stock and want 10x more than anywhere else

I used Stern Saver and it worked really well. Get it from TW.
Don't worry Ma'am....
I'm only here for the Bass.
^^^^
No idea what the thickness is? Same price for a full sheet of starboard off amazon

Check out plastic supply places. Starboard = HDPE Can be found in thicknesses up to (and probably over) 1 inch.

What is it used for? Sorry. I'm under a rock.
It has many different applications. It's marine grade plastic that doesn't get affected by UV exposure or cold/warm, etc

I'm in the same shoes...Originally Posted by wicker*man
mn bowhunter, can you tell us what you used it for, and what other possible applications might be? I'm always looking for little projects.
It's most commonly used to mount transducers to. Google search starboard transducer install. In my case I had to use a long piece the same shape as my trolling motor base as a shim, as I went from a 45" Fortrex to a 52" Ultrex and with a longer base had a fiberglass lip on the bow shroud the mount had to clear. If you look closely you can see the piece under the trolling motor.

Good install. Looks clean.
Got it, thanks.
Or moisture - so no rot. Perfect for most non-structural boat applications!
It is also very easy to work with, using simple hand tools, or power tools.
Here's a rod box rack I made from black 5/8" starboard material, without a CNC. Just a hole saw, band saw, and 1/4 round bit on a router.
