Can you use products from Home Depot (or any local hardware store) on a boat? From what we’ve found, the answer is “it depends.” The reason why people cringe when you say you’re getting supplies from Home Depot for your boat is that there’s an assumption that just because it came from the hardware store, it isn’t “marine” grade. This assumption really comes from a lack of knowledge, or a misinterpretation of what makes something “marine.”
So, what does make something “marine?” Aside from the higher price tag, the qualifications in our opinion should include the product being waterproof and corrosion-resistant. Add UV stable if you’re using the product on the exterior, but it’s not as necessary for interior applications. As long as the product meets those two criteria, there’s no reason you can’t use something from Home Depot on a boat. An good example would be the PVC board we’ve been using. It’s completely impervious to water and corrosion, meaning it’s a GREAT product to replace the original plywood panels that rotted out on our boat due to water intrusion. Another example is stainless steel hardware. An quick example of something you SHOULDN’T use is particle board. Particle board would be horrible in a boat because the first time it gets wet, it would disintegrate. Also, don’t use any other hardware from Home Depot other than the stainless steel hardware.
Now, in this video we used regular sanded plywood from Home Depot. I normally wouldn’t recommend using this product, unless you seal it with epoxy like we did. The epoxy combined with the exterior paint will make the doors very resistant to water, and they should last a long time. We chose plywood over PVC board for the cabinet doors because plywood is just easier to work with and stronger for that application.

Why Are There So Many Holes in Our Boat? | Learning the Lines
Removing the seemingly infinite amount of deck hardware and sealing the boat again is a major task when there's this much deck hardware on a small boat. A few years and another country later, we're back at the Desperado project and committed to at least getting her in the water in 2027. F...
DON’T DO THIS With Your Marine Paint | Learning the Lines
I have to say that while I did literally close to everything wrong, the @TotalBoat paint still performed amazingly. If it performs this well when you do everything wrong, it must be a legendary product when you actually follow the instructions! I also went ahead and opened up the boat to prep Desp...
